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 and has been fastidiously maintained since restoration. 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. Still a standard 200 but with the improved Casa 200 top end, large bore Clubman exhaust, GP200 speedometer and switch, new floor runners and 12v electronics. The disc brake is original and standard. It is smattered with unique vinyl lettering (removable) with the logos and in the style of many of the greatest pop artists of the 1960s including Dusty, Cilla Black, The Who, The Hollies, Beatles, Yardbirds, Small Faces, TV show Ready Steady Go and much much more. It is a very attractive scooter in a daring colour. She also has Scootopia front and rear crash bars, a 3-in-1 rear rack and Continental whitewall tyres all round. This is a rare opportunity to obtain a highly sought-after SX200 in a unique one-off paint colour and in excellent condition.
