Many regard the SX200 to be the finest scooter Innocenti produced, and possibly 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.
Our lucky vendor has just won this competition prize and has no need of it. It is one of the later SX200 models with rectangular front badge and push-in front fork buffers. From the competition description we understand that the scooter has had a full professional high quality respray in correct factory colour and a complete mechanical refresh. The engine has been fully overhauled to original standard specification and the original disc brake overhauled. With a 12v conversion, all new cables throughout, original Giuliari seat with new cover, new tyres and 2 full sets of keys. Close enough matching numbers and with V5C ready to be immediately enjoyed.
