The Lambretta TV175 Series 2 was launched in October 1959. It had an engine based on the Li150 series but with an increased capacity and the crankshaft, barrel, piston and gearbox ratio were changed. The front forks were fitted with external shock absorbers. The rear plate and fork links were redesigned to cope with the extra power. The TV175 models were fitted with a Veglia 120km/h or 70mph speedometer face and a dual seat. The ‘Lambretta’ and ‘TV175’ side panel badges were attached to the panels with small nuts as opposed to the riveted badges on the Series 2 Li panels. Often referred to as the ‘tourer’ it had a superb performance coupled with beautiful styling and has been hugely sought after for many years by collectors.
Offered here, this Lambretta TV175 is a Series 2 with the engine number 175TV2 129984. We are advised the scooter is running ‘very well’ and has been in regular use by the vendor. The original TV175 barrel and carburettor are still fitted and there several tasteful accessories that are also present on the scooter. ‘OSV’ is offered with a current V5C for use on UK roads.
