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 mid production example was first believed exported by a UK resident who lived in Italy. It was re-imported in 1999. In 2018 it is said in the history file to have been acquired by John Cooke ex of Eddie Grimstead who restored it in the style that you see today and showing only 4 miles since . The original speedometer is supplied with the scooter along with a matching helmet. Very presentable and in excellent working condition, as it was originally. The scooter has also been restored for practical and safe use in mind. The engine is standard 200cc and the original disc brake has been restored. The electronics are now on a 12 volt system and the wheels are tubeless SIP rims with new tyres. The scooter has been it seems to us to have been very well maintained and has MOTs and tax discs going back to the original importation from 1999. All keys are present and the scooter is ready to go.
