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 1966 specimen has correct numbers (very close) and has been fastidiously maintained since restoration. This scooter was originally purchased from Nigel Cox at the Weston Lambretta Museum although the original receipt (supplied) shows as sold by Scootopia, also of Weston super Mare, in March 2000. Being used regularly and MOT’d and serviced every year since restoration by Medway Scooters. With her original engine we are informed that everything was renewed that needed to be. It is still a standard 200 but with the improved Casa 200 top end, uprated PHBH 26mm carburettor and large bore Clubman exhaust. The replacement speedometer shows 2579 miles. New switch, new floor runners and 12v electronics. The disc brake is original and standard. The crank case was polished and she has Michelin S83 tyres all round on tubeless rims. She also has accessory air horns, a very useful lockable top box, and leg shield box. She also as a large working additional spotlight and footboard extensions. The ‘Ticket to Ride’ and other vinyl lettering can be easily removed.
The vendor, a dedicated scooterist, has decided due to ageing years, to sell his collection. This scooter was prepared for regular long-distance riding with a passenger and is a rare opportunity to obtain a highly sought after SX200 in excellent condition.
