The Lambretta
TV175 Series 3 was launched in March 1962 and it
was the first scooter supplied with an internal
disc brake. It was a remarkable change from the
previous TV175 series 2 with new sleek slim
styling. The front shock absorbers were enhanced
with extra dampers as in the previous TV series
2 models. The TV series 3 also had larger silent
blocks than the previous engines and it had a
very good reputation as a smooth and
well-balanced scooter with great handling
attributes. The larger engined TV200 quickly
followed the TV175 slim style in early 1963 at
the specific request of the British importer
Lambretta Concessionaires who wanted an even
more powerful model than the TV175 to satisfy
their customer base. Genuine TV200 Lambrettas
were instantly recognised as the GT200 to
differentiate them from the TV175 models. The
first versions had Li style panels and the later
versions had SX type panels with polished
flashes:
TV200 – 1st version
(March 1962 until December 1963)
Side-panel buffers made entirely from rubber. TV
175 rear frame badge with white background,
until end of 1962 speedo-cable with small square

(December 1963 until May 1965)
Special side-panels, side- panel buffers with
clip, TV 175 rear frame badge with blue
background.
TV200 – 3rd version
