des "scoota pimp daddy" - tv collection

des has some fine scooters in his collection two of which are the first and last in the lambretta tv range, tv175 series i & tv200 series iii.  for the purpose of this profile we'll pretend jeremy's tv175 series iii and jaxy's tv175 series ii are part of the scoota pimp daddy's collection. 

the tourismo veloce was the top model lambretta produced between 1959 - 1967 (some train spotter out there will debate these dates).  as scooter manufacturers of the day kept upping the power output and engine size lambretta certainly kept up with its 175 & 200cc models.  they were so good that the tv was nick named the “mod hot rod” due to the era.  damn good to see a group of fine scoots like these on nz roads.
