Hi folks, was after a bit of information regarding the Series 3 TV 200.
I've just been to look at one over the weekend and the frame number
has the correct TV3 prefix followed by a frame number 5490++ but the frame
is non chrome ring.I know that the very last few 200s and 175s didn't have
the chrome ring but were they changed this early ?
If anyone can shed any light on this it would be really appreciated.
Regards Mark

Really good fit marra and with an SX / GP type steering lock stop, correct
headset, horncast and legshields, fibreglass mudguard.
Numbers really clear, no IGM and no sign of tampering.
I have a TV 175 which was one of the last 300 made that is non chrome ring
but thought it was literally just the last couple of hundred TVs before SX
production started that didn't have them.

Just thinking out loud as I'm not really clued up on numbers etc but didn't Innocenti stop production of the TV model before launching the SX? And weren't all SX200s chrome ring type?

SX 150 and 200s were all non chrome ring but the TVs were chrome ring to start with and the last of the TV models were non chrome ring.
The reason I ask is I'm sure an old TV 175 of mine was around that number and had a chrome ring.
As both the 175 and 200s used the same numbering I would just like to make sure what I hope to be
buying is "what it says on the tin".
Over the past couple of years I've been offered a GP 150 with 125 DGM number, a GP 200 with a 150 DGM
number and frame number 2594++ dated by the VMSC and registered by the DVLA, a TV/GT 200 with an
IGM number and this week noticed an Italian Golden Special in Oldham, on Ebay, with an Li front mudguard
and horncast.
I may just be getting a bit cynical but I don't have that type of money to lose if it's a wrong one.
Would be nice to be able to say for definite and with it being a change over year it's not as clear cut
as with other models.
As 175s and 200s were taken off the line along side each other if anyone had either in non chrome ring with
numbers earlier than 5490++ it would give me something to go on.
