The SX150 first appeared in October 1966 and replaced the 150 Special which had debuted at Milan in 1963. The tuned engine and close-ratio gearbox made for a faster 95kmh machine with much-improved acceleration and was a superb all round scooter. The SX150 engine used a 20mm carburettor and used 2 cylinder head gaskets resulting in a slight increase in power to 9.38hp but with a similar maximum speed to the preceding Special. The SX was presented in new colours and had a chrome strip on the front mudguard. The panels all had the three flashes and a large X150 over the special badge on the front of the leg shield. The rear frame badge reads Lambretta Innocenti on most models and the late models had a rectangular front horn cast badge. Earlier models had a metal tool box and side panel handles while the later SX150s had plastic DL style version tool boxes and clip on panels. In three years of production there were 31,238 produced and production of the SX150 ceased in January 1969.

Here we present a rare original ’Mela Verde’ (Apple Green) purchased from Gran Sport of Birmingham 2014, 11 years ago. All numbers are correct and it appears as though original parts have been retained, noticeably, except a new exhaust. The seat is an SX200 original Red Giuliari type and perhaps needing only a minor repair to the original cover. We are informed the scooter rides superbly, with the only flaw being that the original ignition key broke in the ignition and is still in there, although not affecting is use. Genuine Mela Verde SX150s are very rare to see. Many standard SX150s have been repainted in this colour but of course are not the real thing.
