The DL200 was the last of the great Lambretta scooters that rolled-off Innocenti’s production line in Milan. Produced from January 1969 until April 1971 a total of only 9,350 DL200s were made. The DL200 (GP200 in the UK) followed the SX200 and retained the engine prefix of SX200 before the serial number. There were 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 1970s. 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 fashionable Ochre colour scheme.

In our opinion this is an extremely fine example in exceptionally good condition. Imported from Italy in 2004, it was acquired from Jason, the senior mechanic at Cambridge Lambretta having been his own private scooter. Appearing to retain original paint under the panels and on the frame loop itself, which fit superbly and appear to have been painted to blend with the original frame paint. There are many original parts including the original KMH speedometer which has been re-calibrated to MPH with a replacement face. The original SILME seat is present with a deceptively original-looking cover, the badges and lights all over the scooter appear as original, as is the grey tool box and keys. The engine is still 200cc with a Mugello Mk1 top end, a 30mm Dellorto carburettor, Ancillotto Clubman exhaust and 12v electronics. Our vendor, a scooter perfectionist himself, recently entrusted true perfectionist, Simon Neale at The Magic Garage, to thoroughly go over the entire machine at a cost of £1,342 and the resultant invoice for a myriad of improvements is included with the lot.
