Puffin4 Posted March 12, 2012 Share Posted March 12, 2012 My first was a LD 125? and my second was a TV175. Used to ride occasionally with a club which operated out of a boozer at (can't remember the name of the district, up the hill from Heeley, towards Norton; would it be Meadowhead?) Sorry, well it is 50 odd years ago. Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PopT Posted March 13, 2012 Share Posted March 13, 2012 I had a Tv 175 Lambretta scooter, I know it was the first year they appeared on the Uk market, I think it was 1960. Armando the Italian mechanic worked out of a lock up garage on a backstreet off Whitworth road. NMaybe someonre could jog my memory about the year? Happy Days!

PopT Armando moved out of his original workshop, due to compulsory purchase, to his purpose built premises on Randall Street, which is now run by his 2 sons, Gino and Guido. Unfortunately Armando died suddenly at his home in Italy on the 15/12/2011. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
