Lambretta TV200 This is now
Without doubt the TV 200 occupies a strange position in the hearts and souls of Lambretta enthusiasts. On one hand it’s undeniably scarce and as the original 200cc machine its place in scooter history is secured. On the other it’s a scooter with a mixed reputation for practicality, mainly due to its unusually high gearing.
To see how the design has stood the test of time we paid a visit to Chesterfield where two standard TVs have found very loving homes.
Both Alan Beckett and Steve Lievesley have been around scooters for longer than they care to remember. They grew up close to one another, rode together for years and by pure chance have both found themselves owning TV200s. Even more intriguing is that their TVs were both supplied by the same dealer – their registrations being separated by a few weeks
