  • Straight out of the garage rally going machine

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 interesting example is a genuine Italian SX200 first registered in the UK in 2005. It has been in regular use since then. The original engine, however, was removed and replaced with an unstamped upgraded engine. We are told it has a Mugello 200cc top end and rides superbly. It was taken to Italy and partook in the national Italian Club rally in Rapello in 2016. It has been converted to a Tino Sacchi 12v variatronic ignition and sports a Dellorto 28mm carburettor with JML Road exhaust. The rear shock is a quality adjustable version. The original front disc brake is standard. As far as we could see, all of the panels throughout are original first generation Innocenti SX200 panels and the rear frame badge is original, in our opinion. The seat is an original Giuliari with a replacement cover. The speedometer is a replacement MPH Veglia version. This is an honest straight out of the garage machine in good running condition at the time of consignment. All genuine SX200 save the engine, this could represent an extremely good buy for someone at the very reasonable reserve.
