The Lambretta TV175 Series 3 was launched in March 1962 and it was the first scooter supplied with an internal disc brake. It was a remarkable change from the previous TV175 series 2 with new sleek slim styling. The front shock absorbers were enhanced with extra dampers as in the previous TV series 2 models. The TV series 3 also had larger silent blocks than the previous engines and it had a very good reputation as a smooth and well-balanced scooter with great handling attributes.
This presentable and fully operational example was, in our opinion, British registered from new. The vendor has had the scooter since 2007 and is a well known senior member of several vintage scooter clubs in the UK. He has kept a fastidious record of everything he has done on the scooter from 2007 to the present day, this record is supplied with the scooter. The engine was changed for a GP200 engine and we are told by the vendor that 'it runs beautifully'. We noted that all the good original parts are there including the front disc braked Giuliari seat with faux leopard cover. The original rough sound deadening paint is still visible on the rear mudguard and on the inside of the side panels. It has been converted to 12v electronics and has quality Continental whitewall tyres. An accessory leg shield box has been added and all keys for the scooter are present. We were able to start and run the scooter at time of consignment.
