1963 Lambretta TV175 Series III (L104)
The TV175 Lambretta was the top of the line sport scooter for 1963 as the Series III offered progressive styling and outstanding handling and power. This one looks great, runs great, no issues, no problems. Overall condition is excellent. We purchased this sharp 1963 Lambretta TV175 in the Bergamo area from a Lambretta enthusiast who restored it over the past few years. The engine has been redone and runs smooth and strong. Very beautiful and very original Lambretta in every regard. Comes with original Italian license plate and FMI registration with GOLD plate. This is the perfect scoot for a Lambretta enthusiast. Rare, fast, and beautiful… really, everything a vintage scooter should be. Very collectable and still exciting fun to ride ... an investment in sheer joy, to be sure.
The TV 175 was also the performance leader of its day. It was, and still is, very quick. At the time this scooter came out, it was the hottest scooter on the market. Innocenti and Piaggio were competing fiercely in Europe, and the TV 175 was meant to be the top of the market. It certainly had it all. The new “Slimstyle” bodywork for the Series III Lambrettas was certainly a departure from the more svelte lines of the earlier models. The motor inside the Slimstyle body was as sporty and powerful as the scooter looked on the outside.
The TV 175 had one other trick up its sleeve - it was the first production motorcycle or scooter with a disc brake as standard equipment. Housed internally in the front hub, the TV had a mechanical disc brake using a solid disc. The only visible clue was the four air vents that were meant to channel cooling air to the disc.
