I'm pretty sure all TV's had the same panels, even the TV200, they are the same as Li 150's.

I thought some tv's had scalloped sides with metal embellishments.

The panels changed to what was to become the SX150/Special style in late 1963

I've searched 1 hka to 999 hka and no luck, looks like I will be doing a replica!

Can anyone tell me a good place to find Lambretta projects other than ebay or Gumtree?

Prices seem to be slightly high on ebay.

I'm looking for a solid series 3 earlier the better.

Cheers
Kris

Better clue for the year would be the number plate, must be pre A which was introduced in 1963 though not all regions adopted that immediately. The year suffix was made compulsory in 1965.

KA is definitely Liverpool.

Go to Facebook page "Lambretta for Sale". A lot on there at sensible prices.

A project will invariably cost more than a "ready done" scooter. Add the time and effort and a fully running, on the road scooter is a cheaper and less time consuming option..........IMO
