Many regard the SX200 to be the finest scooter Innocenti produced, and possibly regarded as the best scooter ever made. The SX range retained most styling features of the TV 175/200 Series III which preceded it. The bodywork however was more angular and streamlined than that of the preceding LI models. Like the TV Series III, the headset housed a keyed ignition/light switch in the space that the standard LI had a simple kill switch. The SX200 had improved performance and gearing over the previous TV200 models. The SX is the quintessential Lambretta, they are extremely prized by collectors and the SX200 with its own uniquely styled panels and powerful motor is the absolute top of the scooter tree.
This later production example was first believed imported from South Africa in 2002 where it apparently appeared in a television advert for a chocolate bar. Being a battery tray model it is believed to have been taken to South Africa from the UK and returned here. We are told by the vendor it was restored in the UK in 2002 by Spray Art of Southend. It certainly does appear to be a very high quality restoration. We noted that there were many original parts all over the scooter restored instead of being replaced and the fastenings appear to be all correct with apparently even the original screws re-zinced. The speedometer also appears as an original MPH speedo. Original parts, as we could see, are the panels all over, floor runners and end caps, Giuliari seat with new cover, ignition, engine and carburettor. The ignition and electrics have been converted to 12V. The numbers are correct and overall this is a very nicely presented SX200 in correct colour scheme as original.
