I think it was a mix of red-mauve-purple-dark blue on different parts and the main frame was white.

That's supposed to be Jimmy's scoot in Allstyles but in the film the horncasting was mauve with a purple upside-down V in the centre. So the paint isn't the same as in the film on this scooter.

The Lambretta Li 150 Series 3 offered here is the actual machine ridden by Phil Daniels’ character, James 'Jimmy'' Cooper in the 1979 film, 'Quadrophenia', inspired by The Who’s double album of the same name. After filming finished, the 'Jimmy Bike' was sold to scooter dealers Rafferty Newman and put on display in the window of their shop in Portsmouth. It was subsequently purchased by Eddie Harris who then sold it on to Paul Marsh, both these owners being Portsmouth residents.

Although far too young to be a 'Mod' in the 1960s, the vendor caught the post-Quadrophenia revival in the early 1980s and was on the lookout for a scooter to buy. Quite by chance he spotted 'KRU 251F' lying in a front garden in Southsea, Portsmouth and, recognising the registration number from 'Quadrophenia', knew that he had found Jimmy Cooper’s old bike. (It should be noted that as 'Quadrophenia' was set in the early 1960s, the registration’s 'F' suffix denoting 1967 was removed for the filming). A sale was negotiated and the Lambretta collected together with its accessories, which had been removed for safekeeping by the owner, Paul Marsh.

The machine’s restoration was commenced almost immediately but would not be properly completed until 1995, by which time the vendor was running his own scooter shop - Allstyles - in Portsmouth (It should be noted that, as is the case with most motorcycle restorations, some parts were replaced during the rebuild and prospective purchasers are advised to satisfy themselves with regard to the extent of this machine’s originality before bidding). In June of that year the ex-Jimmy Cooper Lambretta was pictured on the front cover of Scootering International magazine and featured in an accompanying article. Since then it has gone on to win various concours awards and been used for a host of promotional events, photo shoots, trade shows, etc, as well as featuring in other publications. When 'Quadrophenia' was re-released in January 1997, 'KRU 251F' attended the premiere in Brighton where it was reunited with Phil Daniels and other members of the original cast. Later that same year the 'Jimmy Bike' was used for filming at The Who’s Quadrophenia concert in Hyde Park, London and on location in Brighton.

For the past few years, 'KRU 251F' has been kept carefully stored inside the vendor’s house and is to the same specification today as it was back in 1979, including the Ken Cobbing sports exhaust system. The machine remains in excellent condition, although a certain amount of re-commissioning - new battery, carburettor clean, fresh petrol, etc - will be required before returning it to the road. Offered with current SORN and Swansea V5, 'KRU 251F' represents an exciting opportunity to acquire the 'Jimmy Bike', one of the most famous Lambrettas of all time

Ah! All is clear now young grasshopper!

[Titch]

Who is Jimmy?

[Parker]

So are you aloud on the road with it seems that it now says  KRU 251

[Marko]

Jimmy hoffa?

Jimmy cricket?

Jimmy Hill?

Jimmy Savile?

Jimmy the lock?

I think maybe this is one scooter that shouldnt be put back on the road, due to the history. I still believe everthing else should be ridden...including all those gold plated jobs...just me opinion
