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 was produced in late 1966 according to Innocenti production records. This scooter is absolutely standard 200cc as it came out of the factory on the original 6v points system and quality painted in the correct colours, and still in marvellous condition having done only around 800 miles since restoration. The numbers are absolutely correct as is the specification all around the scooter. This extremely well restored example has been stored in centrally heated room and is part of a very discerning persons collection. He has however decided to sell all of his scooters for personal reasons at prices to sell and this represents an opportunity for a new owner. Out vendor only buys the best and keeps his scooters in top condition while seldom using them.
