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 superb example, first registered in 1968 as 'MTD 41G' (now with registration number 'MOD 18F') was produced in 1967. The previous owner had restoration work done by Scootopia around 2014. It is the standard 200ccc on the original 6v points system and subject to a quality paint in the correct colours and has only done some 700 miles since 2014. The numbers are correct, as is the specification. The Giuliari seat has a quality original-looking 'Ox-blood' seat cover. The scooter was featured in a full article in 'Scootering' magazine issue 401, November 2019.
The registration number 'MOD 18F' is within the correct period of SX200 production. The number is transferable, with the old number being held on retention. In summary, this example of the highly prized SX200 is one of the best we have handled. With a UK registration, a known standard of restoration, being completely standard and with a very cool and valuable number plate, it should arguably be guided higher than our estimate.
