The Lambretta TV175 Series 2 was launched in October 1959. It had an engine based on the Li150 Series but with an increased capacity and the crankshaft, barrel, piston and gearbox ratio were changed. Often referred to as the ‘Tourer’ or ‘Sportsman’s scooter’ it had superb performance at the time and coupled with beautiful styling and has been hugely sought after for many years by collectors.

This extremely presentable mid production example was first registered in Northwich on 8th November, 1960, and has been completely restored in the original paint colour of ‘Avorio’. This scooter represents a great example of the best early 1960s Lambretta and wants for nothing. Close attention to the quality of the paint and the details show that care has been taken in its preparation. The scooter comes with a fair amount of original documentation and information. The original RF60 buff log book, Green continuation log book and some MOTs. There are also a number of photographs pre-restoration which show the scooter in a Blue-Gold colour. The history shows that the original number was regained. A V5 is present.
