TV200 John Viggers

This is probably...er, no, make that DEFINATELY the worst scooter we've ever had to restore as it was a complete heap of shite at the beginning. After sitting in a London scrapyard for untold years, it presented itself as a right challenge - even just to strip it of the few remaining parts. The few parts on the bike ( toolbox, rear mudguard etc. ) actually came away by hand they were so rotten. The only part left of the front legshields was the small part where they clamp around the front fork tube fixing. Despite the outwardly awful appearance of the scooter, when we fitted it in our frame jig, lo and behold, the frame was as straight as a dye. Things must be looking up... An exceptionally straight donor bike was found for all the bodywork and after untold hours work, the end result is what you see on these site pages. Nick is a real perfectionist and knows 101% what he wants so requested that the bike was as original as possible, with his usual hawk - like attention to detail, right down to things like 'Innocenti' marked rims, Michelin ACS tyres, Carello lighting units and original NOS switches and locks etc. This paid off because at the Peanut Duck custom show in the UK, as Nick's RLC restored TV200 won the two top prizes for 'Best Classic in Show' and 'Best Restored in Show'. Actions speak louder than words.
