Wide-back?
As anyone who has studied the many part variations in The Complete Spanners Lambretta Manual will know, Innocenti were supplied out-sourced components by many manufacturers.
One of the parts with most variations is the simple seat. 70 years later we are still waiting for a comfortable one, but that’s another story.
Giuliari made several different types for Innocenti but until recently it wasn’t possible to get a complete replacement cover for the ‘wide-back’ seat frame used on some TV175 Series 2 and early Series 3 TV175 machines.
These ‘Wide-back’ seats are wider, lower and longer than their other Giuliari counterparts. The backs of these particular seats are very squared-off and angular (hence their name) and another feature that makes these seats easy to identify is their weird spring arrangement.
Until now, owners of machines with these seats have had to get custom-made covers – or resort to changing their seat. Vittorio Tessera has just changed all that and the covers for these seats have been added to the ever-increasing Casa Lambretta range of parts.
The Casa Lambretta part code is C351 and the Italian market price is 100 Euro. They are available now from Rimini Lambretta Centre or can be ordered from Casa Lambretta dealers Worldwide.
