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 120 km/h or 70 mph 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.

This presentable and fully operational (at the time of consignment) example was, in our opinion, probably British registered from new with a battery tray, Concessionaires badge and MPH speedometer, which shows 7,968 miles. The current owner has had the scooter since 2005 and is a well-known senior member of several Vintage scooter clubs in the UK. He has kept a fastidious book record of everything he has done on the scooter from 2007 to the present, right down to the oil changes! This record is supplied with the scooter.

The numbers match correctly and it is in standard TV175 specification with its original Giuliari seat. The only upgrade that we could see is the conversion to 12v electronics and a later SH2/22 carburettor. All keys are present, including the original steering lock with its original flap. Again, we are told by the vendor that it rides as it should and we were able to see the scooter performing well at the time of consignment. It only comes to market because the vendor is now unable to ride it due to health problems, therefore the scooter is sensibly priced to sell.
