Lambretta TV/Li: Prima Serie - Series I - Storia, Modelli E Documenti/History, Models and Documentation Tessera VittorioPaperback / softback

Following the monograph devoted to the Lui, this latest volume focuses on another iconic Lambretta the TV-LI Series I. There were numerous innovations characterising this new series of models: the engine adopted a duplex chain transmission with a four-speed gearbox and the cylinder was set horizontally, while in terms of the chassis, the most significant novelties concerned the larger 10" wheels and the dimensions of the bodywork. In the history of the Lambretta, the TV and LI Series I laid the foundations of a new engineering concept that revolutionised the traditional model with shaft drive, sold from 1947 to 1958 in hundreds of thousands of examples.

For the first time a Lambretta reached a displacement of 170 cc and could No less important were the improvements to the rear suspension, which abandoned the famous torsion bar for a more efficient motorcycle-style spring-damper unit.
