Description
For sale is a genuine, unrestored 1963 Lambretta TV 175 Series 3. This scooter has been sitting dormant in dry storage for over 50 years. It is a 100% original, unmolested survivor, making it a prime candidate for a preservation-class "oily rag" build or a concours restoration. Only the muffler is missing.
Key Details:
Originality: Wears its original factory white and blue two-tone paint with an incredible, honest patina.
Matching Numbers: Frame # 529406 / Engine # 530589
Brakes: The rare and highly sought-after original front inboard disc brake is fully intact.
Instrumentation: Original Veglia MPH speedometer showing only 7, 994 miles. Original Innocenti headlight glass.
Bodywork: Solid frame and floorboards with surface rust but no major rot. Legshields are remarkably straight. All original TV175 and Innocenti badging is present.
Condition: Engine has not run in over 50 years and requires a full mechanical overhaul. The seat cover requires replacement, and the floorboard rubbers are missing.
This is a true survivor and an increasingly rare find in the classic scooter world. Sold strictly as-is, non-running project. International buyers welcome; I am happy to work with your shipping agent. Please review all photos carefully and contact me with any questions.
Why You’ll Love It
There is nothing quite like the thrill of taking ownership of a completely untouched, numbers-matching time capsule. You will love this TV 175 because it offers something money usually can’t buy: absolute, unmolested originality. It hasn’t been botched by a 1980s backyard mechanic, and it isn’t hiding any structural damage under thick coats of modern filler. It is exactly as it was when it was parked over half a century ago, offering a pure, straightforward baseline for your dream build.
Why It Stands Out & What Makes It Unique
The TV 175 Series 3 is already a highly sought-after model for classic collectors due to the factory front disc brake and its superior touring engine. But what makes this specific scooter unique is its preservation status. Finding a complete TV 175 that retains its original Nuovo Bianco and blue two-tone paint, the original Innocenti headlight glass, and the factory Veglia speedometer with just 7, 994 miles is exceedingly rare today. Every cast badge, every panel gap, and even the original toolbox is exactly as Innocenti intended in 1963.
