When I found this first shot of June and Eve Eden posing on a Lambretta Scooter I had hoped I would find more, but had never found any until now! I saw this shot several weeks ago being sold over on eBay by Teri Martine, but knew it would be popular so never bid on it. Fortunately for me John W did and he won it along with a few others, so I now have a copy to share.
The text that accompanied this image from Teri on eBay suggested that it was June posing on the back of a British Lambretta scooter and was done for the company that made the scooters and quite possible it was used for one of their ads in a magazine. John also sent me some other shots of June posing in the studio on a Lambretta for the company Cowderoy & Moss Ltd, so this could also be for them?
The other model is Eve Eden who did another commercial with June on a scooter and potentially that was the first shot of the two I posted. A fantastic piece of memorabilia and thanks to John for sending me a copy of this image featuring two of my favourite models. Surprisingly the first shot of June and Eve is one of my most popular images and they even had their clothes on!

I drove a Lambretta Li150 for a while during the sixties. Fitted with twin seats (like the one June is sitting on) but retro-fitted the single seat (as Eve is on) Following advice from a friend who pointed out with the single seat the pillion passenger would tend to slide forward with arms around you, when you could find a very pleasant pressure in the back from your passengers “body”, especially to be looked forward to during the summer with lighter clothing for both. The thought of having either of these two as a pillion passenger gives rise to quite unprintable ideas.
