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 first registered in 1966 and sold to Teresa Michielin a resident of Alessandria who was born in Montebelluno, Treviso in 1906. She would have been 60 when she bought it! All of this information is contained in the original history file of original Italian Ministry of transport logbook, Foggio Complentare and certificate from the Automobile Club d’Italia. The logbook shows tax stamps up until 1977. During that time the original speedometer ran up 22,749km. The original speedometer was cleaned and reused in the restoration some 10 years ago. The scooter was restored in Italy to a high standard as can be seen in the accompanying photographs. The reason we know all of this? It is being sold by our own scooter consultant Paul Diamond from his own collection. He bought it fresh from its restoration and it has never been used since. It has been a display model for accessories in his house for all of that time.

Still absolutely standard on a 6v points system with unmodified but rebuilt 200cc engine, it is extremely clean. Looking at the detail, there is a high level of attention paid to the assembly with fastenings, cables, rubbers and wiring all looking very neat. The numbers are absolutely correct as is the specification all around the scooter. The correct original SH1/20 carburettor and standard exhaust complete the motor. The original Giuliari seat has a quality seat cover. The coil is a non-standard but reliable alternative that was commonly used. We did not try and start the scooter as it has not been used in some time. Probably a careful service would be required. It is UK registered of course, and number plates are supplied, but the original Italian plate has been kept on the scooter for authentic show posterity.
