PLEASE NOTE: This lot appears on HPI as a 'Category C insurance loss - Vehicle Extensively Damaged but Repairable - Insurer Decided Not To Repair 20/10/2011. We are informed this happened in the current vendors ownership, and it was subsequently repaired and put back on the road.

When Innocenti closed in 1972, India-based Scooters India Ltd (SIL), a state run enterprise based in Lucknow, bought the entire Italian production facility including trademark rights to the models. Lambrettas had already been manufactured in India since the late 1950s under license from Innocenti by API so they were a known brand. The SIL production focussed exclusively on the GP range with production of the 125/150 and 200cc models until production ceased at the end of the 1990s. The 200cc models were almost all built for export and were essentially the same as the earlier Italian version providing 11.9 HP with similar reliability.

We understand this scooter, with correct SIL Engine No: 008416, was purchased by the vendor directly from Cambridge Lambretta as freshly restored by them in November 2009. It has a Mugello 200cc top end with a 42mm large bore exhaust and a 30mm carburettor with 12v electrics. We understand it was on the road recently and comes with a Swansea V5C.
