It is not easy to find a photo of a 1962 TV 175 online. I poked around for a while before I found this USA model for sale on Scooter BBS SPAM forum. My Lambretta is an Italian model, but the exact same year and model. The scoot pictured above was described as a first or second kick and sold for $3,000. That is a GREAT deal. My Lammy was $1,000 and did not include all the parts, which will quickly add up in costs, but it did come with two motors. The nice thing about this Lambretta is no paint is required.
1962 was the tail end of the early Series 3 cowls. I believe it was in 1964 or 1965 that the cowls changed and looked more like the common Li.
TVs have become more sought after because its big brother, the SX200, is very hard to find in old barns and such so collectors now go after the next biggest engine . . . 175cc.
