The DL200 was the last of the great Lambretta scooters that rolled off of Innocenti’s production line in Milan. Produced from January 1969 until April 1971 a total of only 9350 DL200’s were made. The DL200 (known as the GP200 in the UK market) followed the SX200 and retained the engine prefix of SX200 before the serial number. There were however significant improvements to the engine over the SX including: improved crankshaft, a complete overhaul of the gearbox ratios and improved Ducati ignition. The iconic bodywork followed the trends of the day of the early 1970’s. The Nuccio Bertone design was more streamlined than its predecessors with a new 22/2 frame and rectangular headlight. Only a genuine Italian DL had the famous ink splat on the front of the sleek leg shield. In Italy the DL200 was only available in the trendy Ochre colour.

This appears a fine example remaining in exceptionally good condition in our opinion. Acquired in 2006 after being imported in 2005 it reportedly only had one owner in Italy. It was then sent to John Balcome at JB Tuning for a nut and bolt bare metal restoration. John Balcome is one of the most revered specialists in the UK and the bill alone was £5,617 and with additional parts exceeded £6000 according to the vendor. The paint was done by another top name, Andy McIlvoy. Close inspection shows the quality of the restoration. Standard save for 12v ignition with a new stator and the addition of a Scootopia carburettor. The original SHI/22 carburettor is supplied. The panels display good fit and the seat is the original Giuliari with quality new cover. There are 2 sets of keys and the Toolbox lock and steering lock are original CAMA and FISAM. The original Veglia speedometer was retained. Complete with original Stadium side mirror, the scooter is only occasionally run and there are a few tiny stone chips and panel wear. Supplied with numerous invoices, mainly for consumables and tax discs and MOTs from 2006 to 2015, it started easily on inspection and appeared to function well.
