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.

We believe this presentable and fully prepared example was imported from Italy in 2019. It was substantially restored with new electrics including 6v points and condenser, new ignition, horn, control switch, rectifier, battery and bulbs. Other new parts included a new seat cover for the original Giuliari seat frame, full cable set, MPH speedometer, brakes, headlight and glass, brakes including pads and adjusters, toolbox lock and key, steering lock key re-cut by Jim Booth, fuel tap, rubbers and gaskets, new panel badges and rear shock. The original disc brake was dismantled and refurbished with pads and adjusters. The original engine has been fitted with Scootopia silent block engine mounts, Scootopia Series 3 exhaust, clutch plates and chaincase gasket. The correct SH1/20 carburettor was ultrasonically cleaned. It was then subject to a bare metal paint restoration by ‘Roadrash Paintwork’, to the tune of £1,380.

The current owner has only covered 23 miles on the scooter since the re-build. The scooter comes with a build and work history, a dating later from the LCGB and an Innocenti Certificate. V5C for use on UK roads. There's a sensibly priced reserve.
