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 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 correct numbers machine has been owned by the vendor for around 8 years and has seldom been used in that time. It is however in what appears to be fine running condition. The panels all over appear to be the originals and fit very well. The scooter has been converted to 12v. The original engine is we understand standard 175cc and the carburettor we noted is the original correct period MA19 Dellorto. The scooter is priced with an estimate to sell.
