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.
This very well restored example has been stored in centrally heated room and is part of a very discerning persons collection. He has however decided to sell all of his scooters for personal reasons at prices to sell and this represents an opportunity for a new owner. Out vendor only buys the best and keeps his scooters in top condition while seldom using them. This TV175 has recently had a new clutch and is all running perfectly we are told as can be see by the accompanying video taken below. It is totally standard except for the conversion to 12v ignition.
