help Lambretta TV175 FAQ
What does TV mean in Lambretta TV175?
TV stands for Turismo Veloce, meaning "Fast Touring" in Italian. The model was designed as a higher-performance Lambretta with a 175cc engine rather than as a basic commuter scooter.
When was the Lambretta TV175 made?
The first TV175 appeared in 1957 under Innocenti, while the Series III TV175 was produced from 1962 to 1965. The exact year matters because Series I, II, and III scooters have different bodywork and mechanical details.
Did the TV175 have a disc brake?
The Series III TV175 became famous for its mechanical front disc brake, one of the earliest production two-wheeler disc-brake applications. Earlier TV175 versions should not automatically be assumed to have the same braking equipment.
How can I identify a Lambretta TV175 Series III?
Look for the Series III slim bodywork, TV-specific trim, the 175cc engine, and the mechanical front disc brake. Series III production ran from March 1962 to October 1965, which helps separate it from the earlier TV175 models.
