1963 LAMBRETTA TV175 SIDECAR (L110) With Custom SIDECAR (L111)
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. Fully restored just a few years ago this one looks great, runs great, no issues, no problems. Overall condition is excellent. A clean example of one of the coolest scooters ever. Comes with the original documents and ASI registration. This is the perfect scoot for a Lambretta sidecar rig. Rare, fast, and beautiful… really, everything a vintage scooter with sidecar should be. Very collectable and exciting ... 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 with plenty of power to handle the sidecar. 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.
We acquired the scooter solely with the intent of mating it to the bespoke custom sidecar that we commissioned from an Italian artisan fabricator. The engine is original and all details are faithful to the model year. Overall excellent condition and perfectly suited to the sidecar. Our custom bespoke sidecar is an all-original design - stylish and functional, entirely crafted by hand. This unique combination is fully prepped and is ready to take you back in time.
Our technicians have gone thru the bike and provided a full service. The odometer shows 10,680 miles (17,189 km) TMU. This special moto has many neat details to accent the two-tone finish. All badges and decals are correct. The sidecar is neatly upholstered and matched to the new seat. There is a rear rack mounted spare tire. The is a chromed wire luggage grid on the sidecar. There is an artful chrome handrail at the front of the passenger compartment and a chromed accent lamp atop the sidecar fender. This scooter makes a dazzling impression and goes as good as it looks.
