For sale is my Lambretta 1959 TV 175 Series II. This is The Ultimate Mod Scooter.
This beautiful classic TV 175 Series II, won the best Lambretta at the Brighton Mod weekender 2023.
This scooter has featured twice in Scootering magazine in 2010 and 2021, and is the talking point and head tuner every time it is ridden out.
This TV 175, is in amazing, excellent condition externally, the underneath mirrors that standard also.

To restore a TV 175, to this standard today, would cost in excess of 22k + from Rimini Lambretta, but the accessories are non existent and impossible to find.
Paintwork: The Scooter was stripped, blasted, prepared and primed. Everything was painted in original cellulose paints, the lighter blue is on Li models, the mid blue was standard on Innocenti Minis at the time as was the gold. For a little extra pop, the finish on the full spine of the Lambretta is Alpha Rosso Shock - its a deep red that turns lighter when the sun hits it.
Engine: The scooter is still running a completely standard 175cc engine, with a gp crank and electronic ignition, fitted for reliability.
The engine number 175TV/2 XXXXXX and frame number 175 TV/2 XXXXXX are correct for the model.
It was imported in 2003 and registered 125cc as was the trend. The log book clearly states, make : Lambretta TV 175 and the V5 is in my name.
The ride is sublime, for a 65 year old scooter, the TV is well weighted and balanced. Good brakes from the internal front disc, which came as standard on these models and revolutionary for its time.
This scooter is advertised elsewhere and can be removed anytime.
Cash or bank transfer on collection only.
