Registration No: VSK 556 Frame No: 175TV2*220034 MOT: ExemptFrom deceased estate. Priced to sellJay Marriott built. Big specV5 for use on UK roadsThe Lambretta TV175 series 2 was launched in October 1959. It had an engine based on the Li150 series but with an increased capacity and the crankshaft, barrel, piston and gearbox ratio were changed. The front forks were fitted with external shock absorbers. The Rear plate and fork links were redesigned to cope with the extra power. The TV175 models were fitted with a Veglia 120 km/h speedometer face and a dual seat. The ‘Lambretta’ and ‘TV175’ side panel badges were attached to the panels with small nuts as opposed to the riveted badges on the series 2 Li panels. Often referred to as the ‘tourer’ it had a superb performance coupled with beautiful styling and has been hugely sought after for many years by collectors.We were able to trace the recent technical history of this scooter. Built by Jay Marriott in the mid to late '60s Mod customisation style in 2012, the engine is a Rapido 225 on a SIL 200 engine with an Amal Mk1 carburettor with a Royspeed manifold. It's 12v ignition but wired into the regulator and then into an original rectifier cover. The piston is an Avanti with barrel tuned by Harry Barlow with a Mark Broadhurst cylinder head and an AF crank. It has an original TV1 BECME ignition switch still with its half-moon spring cover, a 48mm clubman exhaust, Scootopia Ulma rear carrier and an original front mudguard, a chopper-style Sidewinder seat, polished headset and rear light housing. The fog lights appear to be wired-in and airhorns are present. For more information, please contact: Paul Diamond info@vintagescooters.co.uk 07768 313001

T.L.S., Mike Crossley, one page, 4to, White River, East Transvaal, 14th July 1987, to Mr. Terry. Crossley thanks his correspondent for their letter and continues to refer to ´my old friend Bob Tuck´ and other pilots, in part, ´Yes, I try and keep in touch as much as possible with my old squadron friends....Hunph Russell, who was one of my oldest friends - we both joined 32 Squadron in 1936 - died in 1983 after a bad stomach operation of some sort. Sad loss indeed. He had played hockey for the R.A.F. and got shot down in the B. of B, but survived to go on flying till the end of the battle, and later took over 32 Squadron. Pete Gardner was another very old friend, who joined 32 pre-war. He survived, and being of a restless turn of mind, went off and started, and ran, a very swish restaurant in Nassau in the Bahamas....Eckford and Smythe I have completely lost touch with, but I did see Eckford at a B of B reunion some years ago....J. E. "Hector" Proctor, another restless soul, started his flying career as a Sergeant Pilot in 32, and flew as my Number 2 always. He and I and "Chalky" White.....used always to fly together as "Red" section. Hector now lives in Spain....´ A few minor faults, G to VG, 8
