*Information from the LGTOC records
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 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 extremely late example is by all accounts in the last 100 known TV200s to have been produced. It was purchased by our vendor in 2014 as a freshly restored scooter and he has used it seldom since having only clocked up 689 miles on the speedometer in 9 years. It presents very well and our consultant was able to ride it some distance and reports that it drove superbly.
We note the following detail. It is a battery tray model and almost certainly originally a British sold scooter. The scooter is now on 12v electrics and it starts easily with bright lights. The standard 200cc engine has been rebuilt and sports an attractive polished side casing. The carburettor appears to be a 26mm Dellorto and exhaust is a quality SITO. The seat is the original Noemi Rosa with a quality replacement cover. The rear shock is also a quality adjustable version. It is in our opinion very well presented and the estimate is set extremely realistically as it has been gifted to our vendors son who does not wish to ride it.
