The Lambretta TV175 Series 3 was launched in March 1962 and it was the first scooter supplied with an internal disc brake. It had a very good reputation as a smooth and well-balanced scooter with great handling attributes. This very presentable example in our opinion was imported from the USA around 2010. It was then treated to a full restoration in 2012 by the much revered ‘Scootopia Danny’ Hodgkins at Scootopia as a standard TV175 but with Casatronic 12v ignition well hidden inside the rectifier box (a standard Scootopia innovation at the time). The scooter was painted in standard TV Series 3 White with attractive Black and Red panels and with Candy stripe beading.

It appears to have been well maintained since restoration. In recent times our vendor has had the entire engine rebuilt with a Mark Broadhurst RT195 Road tour top end, BGM big bore Clubman exhaust and a 25mm Dellorto carburettor. We are informed by the vendor that this scooter has been his rally scooter and he has made several long-distance journeys over the past two years with no issues.

• UK registered from new on 1st April 1979

• 4000 verified miles from new with full history

• Believed ‘completely original’, including paint

The Rally 200 made between 1972 and 1979 is much sought after by collectors due to its excellent and powerful performance coupled with attractive lines.

This very late example was registered new on the 1st April 1979. The first Blue registration V5 document is present, noting both of the previous owners. On examination the scooter presents in a truly remarkable ‘original’ untouched condition. We were able to see the scooter start easily on the first kick, but would recommend a basic service to optimise performance. There are a number of supplied documents, including the original Blue registration V5 document from 1979, a tax disc from 1984 and a large number of MOTs that support the mileage verification. As an in-demand model, with low owner history, such low mileage and in such unmolested original condition we expect significant interest in this scooter.
