In 1952 a group of Basque businessmen trading as Lambretta Locomociones SA obtained a licence to build Lambretta scooters in Spain. Production began two years later at a purpose built factory in Eibar. Sales were good and around 1964 the company began to use the name Serveta SA for its own commercial activities. In 1982 the company changed its name to Lambretta SAL following a change of ownership. Servetas were initially only produced for the Spanish domestic market. However by 1970 Spanish built machines were being sold in the UK by Lambretta Concessionaires alongside their Innocenti equivalents as Italian supply was known to be stopping. By the end of the decade Serveta scooters were being sold in the United States and the UK under their own name. Production finally ceased in 1989.

The Jet 200 was produced from 1971 and utilised an SX200 engine using the same top-end configuration as the Italian version with a Spanish made Dellorto SH20 carburettor. A slightly larger fuel tank gave longer range.The body styling was based around the Italian Li ‘Scooterlinea’ but with SX style hexagonal head set. The biggest body change was the airbox being diverted as air flow through grills in the underseat tool box which was separated by a divider in the tool box door. The accessory leg shield box more than made up for the storage space. The rear light set up was unconventional but allowed a single design to cope with all export markets.

This Jet 200 is in full running condition as confirmed by our consultant who was able to ride the scooter at time of consignment and as can be seen by the running video below. It has had a full mechanical overhaul by Retrospective Scooters. The electrics are 12v, the wheels are tubeless rimmed and the seat has a new cover. However apart from that it is absolutely original as standard including paint and keys with no visible touch-ups and rare to find in this condition.
