One of the two main vehicles of the movie, almost a 4-star one.

All its main features are seen on the two pics.

(On main pic, Guy Bedos, Élisabeth Wiener, Sophie Daumier, the three leads of the picture.)

 It's missing in this Vespa catalog. We have to look elsewhere.

Is that because it's a Lambretta?

 It wouldn't surprise me, John.

 Ne serait la selle, je trouve qu'il ressemble bien à celui-ci : Link to "www.scootermaniac.org"

On dirait que le style est de 1963+ — ce qui paraît logique, la machine étant visiblement un produit placé.

 Besides scootermaniac.org, do you know a site showing a wide range of Innocenti Lambrettas?

 Yes, cause LD was replaced by LI, but do we know LI built in France, too?

 I read that Fenwick stopped producing (French) Lambrettas scooters in 1960.

 Ah, interesting stuuf readable here about Fenwick and Lambretta in France, more precisely about the activity of Fenwick factory at Saint-Julien-les-Villas, near Troyes.

It says
Quote Fenwick y implante, en 1952, la fabrication des Lambretta pour la France.
En moins de dix ans, 200 000 scooters ainsi que 10 000 triporteurs vont sortir de l'usine de Saint-Julien-les-Villas. Celle-ci ne fait pas que les assembler. Jacques Fournier a récupéré auprès des Lambrettistes un film qui montre que tout était fabriqué sur place, y compris les moteurs.
En 1960, Lambretta arrête la fabrication des scooters à Saint-Julien puis l'année suivante celle des triporteurs. Car, avec la guerre d'Algérie qui maintient la clientèle jeune sous les drapeaux pendant deux ans, deux fortes hausses successives de la TVA, le coût prohibitif des assurances et l'essor pris par l'automobile, les ventes de scooters se sont effondrées.
... From 1952 on, Fenwick made 200,000 scooters and 10,000 three-wheelers (under Innocenti licensing) but more than just assembled, the vehicles were all made there, including the engines.

This production ceesed in 1960 (for the scooters) and 1961 (for the three-wheelers), due to a collapse of the French domestic market.

Fine! Now, not only I have to swallow my tongue about French Lambros and pay my respects to sixcyl, but we can print "built in France"!

... But not for this peculiar one, a real Italian dandy.
