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 9.38 HP 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 SX150’s 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 mid production SX150 completely original in appearance. Imported into the UK and now fully registered for UK road use. The vendor tells us she ‘purrs like a kitten’ and rides extremely well. On examination we can original parts all over including; cable outers, brake adjusters, rear frame badge, the black switch must be an early one as it appears original, speedometer showing 31,806km, front badges and keys. Some expenditure has been made and these are for parts to ensure performance. We note that the electrics are now 12v and that the exhaust is new. There are original Cavalli accessory fork covers. The scooter is supplied with all of the Italian tax discs from 1973 to 1992. The scooter appears to have been looked after very well during its life. One would be had pushed to find an original SX150 with better paint. The original dealer sticker is also still in place.
