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 9.38hp 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 toolbox 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 very late example showing first registration March 1970. The vendor has owned it for 14 years and tells us she ‘rides really well’. The scooter has been upgraded to a 198 Mugello top end with a 22mm Jetex carburettor and a large bore exhaust. The ignition has been converted to 12v. We also understand that the gearbox has been upgraded to match the upgrade with an 81 link chain, 17 tooth drive and 46 crown wheel. The scooter has been stood unused for 3 years and whilst we were able to see the scooter running and sounding very good some attention needs to be paid to the fuel tap.
