Tourist 103A2
General
The Tourist 103 A2 was the last Tourist manufactured and was imported into the USA.
According to an article written by John Gerber for the American Scooterist, approximately 150 A2s were imported into the USA.
Distinguishing Features
The A2 is identifiable by the rear body panel. The rear body panel will only fit the A2 frame. This panel incorporates a tail light and turn signals. The front fender, bumper and light are new to the A2 as well, however, a few late model A1s incorporated A2 front end pieces.
The A2s underwent a few changes late in production. At frame number 0255101, A2s began using split wheel rims. The rims also used five lug nuts for attachment to the front and rear hubs. At frame number 0255601, the front suspension was changed to a swingarm type that resembled most Lambretta front end suspensions.
