My other RAT mod TV175 series 2

[rudeboy67]

I found this in a shed in Holland owned by a old lady from new she had had a few bumps and fell off it a few times she finally put it away under a few dusty blankets ... and so it sat for 10 years.
I got her running very easily but had no time to sort it out so I put her away for about a year while collecting a few original accessories to add to the ones already on it .Some of the things on it I decided to change some I kept

Hi Rich agree with you at first was keeping as she came but decided on taking them off Sam from lambretta finder wanted them so gone to a good home !

[Jazzy b]

Looks great not sure about the fly screen buts that's just my opinion keep pics coming

[rudeboy67]

Engine rebuild keeping as much original or NOS parts possible as only done low mileage and judging by the barrel and original borgo piston in good condition it is correct the only upgrade is a NOS 23m carb not the 21 and a casa 42m exhaust with a little extra pipe added as shown in previous pics .. now for the bad new there has been water in the engine from its long stay in a shed by the looks but no major problems just a little surface rust and emulsified oil

Sounds lovely, hats off to you for keeping it 6v as well

[rudeboy67]

Just Like to thank Johan Groen of the dutch lions for his part in the engine rebuild ...tried to keep it as original as possible and still on the 6v system few little upgrades that were needed to give her a little more go ....ran her up the road and back pulls well in every gear got to try it through the Airbox now ... then box her up just few little jobs left to do then on the road for summer .......
