The Lambretta TV175 Series 3 was launched in March 1962 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 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.
This early 1962 example comes with original later version side panels. Only 188 numbers apart, the engine and frame are correct and original. In our opinion there are original parts all over the machine, including rare and valuable items including the front disc brake hub assembly, rear frame badge, 'jug eared' rear crash bars and a Giuliari seat re-covered in Green. It has been technically upgraded with new 12v electrics and tubeless wheel rims. There is a sensibly priced reserve.
