My Lambretta TV/2 175 was recently sold
She is a 1960 model, was registered 1961 and restored in Italy in 2005. She was in an Italian collection until I purchased her in December 2016. The engine was fully refurbished by a UK specialist in 2019.
This is a lovely scooter in excellent condition and even has the anti noise paint applied which you rarely see nowadays.
Details
Frame number: 175TV2-207XXX which is a 1960 frame.
