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 to satisfy their customer base.
As we understand it Sir Bradley Wiggins bought this scooter after he had sold his previous Lambretta SX200 ‘Fred Perry’ scooter and it was restored at Armandos in Sheffield. It had only 53 miles on it when our vendor bought it from Sir Bradley. Our vendor has enjoyed using it and it now has approximately 3300 miles on the clock. He tells us it is running perfectly well but he has injured his back and can no longer use it as he wants to. We understand it is standard as a TV200.
