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.
This mid production example was first registered new on the 27th July 1965. There is only one owner stated on the green logbook as that of Patrick Cummings of Thornton Heath, London and no change of keeper. It was only won 2 months ago this year and we understand the following from Rafflehub: 'It’s mostly original except for the paint job, which is Bianco Nuovo White. The scooter is in excellent condition with great provenance. Starts and runs like a dream, and it's ready to hit the road! This scooter was recently sold by PM Tuning for £15,000. Registered from new on 27th July 1965 in Greater London, it is matching numbers (700 apart), only 2 owners from new, original green logbook and loads of paperwork.' We are grateful to Rafflehub for supplying this information and for the kind use of their photographs.
