Launched in October 1959, the Lambretta TV175 Series 2 utilised an enlarged version of the its L1150 sibling’s engine complete with a revised crankshaft, barrel, piston and gearbox ratio. The front forks were fitted with external shock absorbers and the rear plate / fork links were redesigned to cope with the extra power. The TV175 models carried 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 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 eight years and has seldom been used in that time. It is, however, understood to be in ‘good running order’. The panels all over appear to be the originals and fit very well. The scooter has been converted to 12v. The original engine (number 175TV2*121690) is said to still displace 175cc and the carburettor we noted is the original correct period MA19 Dellorto. The scooter is priced attractively.
