The Lambretta TV series 3 range was launched in March 1962 with the 175 model 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. The larger engined TV200 quickly followed the TV175 slim style in early 1963 at the specific request of the British importer Lambretta Concessionaires who wanted an even more powerful model than the TV175 to satisfy their customer base. Genuine TV200 Lambrettas were instantly recognised as the GT200 to differentiate them from the TV175 models.
Presented here is a very nice later production GT200 showing only 5997 miles on the original Veglia MPH speedometer. Our consultant was able to thoroughly inspect the scooter. Although repainted it appears that the original parts were pleasingly re-instated in all areas of the scooter. Notable and obvious as original are all of the badges including rear frame badge, hornist badge and leg shield scrolls, original BECME ignition key and numbered ignition, original grease nipple points, and original candy leg shield beading and SH1/ 20 carburettor. The bodywork panels fit superbly and line up straight and tight. The side panels are also a great fit and easily attached. The numbers are close and correct. In our opinion the scooter was in excellent condition and before re-painting and the mileage could well be correct. The scooter started easily at time of consignment and sounded and seemed in excellent mechanical condition as can be seen by the below video film. All in all a lovely example of a very collectible scooter.
