When Innocenti closed in 1972 Scooters India Ltd (SIL) a state run enterprise based in Lucknow, India bought the entire Italian production facility including trademark rights to the models. Lambrettas had already been manufactured in India since the late 1950s under license from Innocenti by API so they were a known brand. The SIL production focussed exclusively on the GP range with production of the 125/150 and 200cc models until production ceased at the end of the 1990s. The 200cc models were almost all built for export and were essentially the same as the earlier Italian version providing 11.9 HP with similar reliability. In Great Britain the appetite for new Lambrettas was still prevalent and continued from the mid 1970s, although in far lesser numbers than the 50s and 60s. A mix of Spanish built SX derivative styled and Indian built GP styled Lambrettas continued to be available. It is unclear how many SIL GP200s were imported.

This 1985 built example of a GP200 was bought around 18 months ago from Welcome garage Stratford by our vendor as a nostalgic gift to his wife who was a Scooter Girl in the 1980s. She has however never ridden it so it is for sale. With 3 former keepers according to the V5C we note that the mileage recorded back in 2015 was only 4255 miles and that this has crept up gradually over the years to the 6114 that be can see on the speedometer which leads us to believe that the mileage is probably genuine. Our consultant able to easily start the scooter and hear it running at the time of consignment.
