The Jet 200 was produced from 1971 and allowed Lambretta owners to continue their love affair with a new Lambretta after the Italian factory closed in the same year. The Jet 200 utilised an SX200 engine using the same top-end configuration as the Italian version with a similar HP and a Spanish made Dellorto SH20 carburettor. The gearbox was identical to the Italian SX200 and performance was overall the same. A slight larger fuel tank gave a longer range however. They were known as a very well built engine as good if not better than the Italian counterpart for reliability. The body styling was based around the Italian Li ‘Scooterlinea’ she but with SX style hexagonal head set.

Our vendor is a very particular collector and has commissioned all of his scooters to the highest possible specification. One thing unusual is that he despite his love for Lambrettas he has never had a license to ride and therefore all of his scooters are virtually unused. This scooter was sourced by, and the complete customisation was entrusted to Chris King of Classic Lambrettas, Nottingham who were well known for high end restorations.

Owned since 2013, this example is based on a Jet 200 with correct numbers. Front fenders and side panels are SX200 style and the engine is a genuine Spanish SX200 standard motor with correct numbers. Performance has been enhanced with a Dellorto 30mm PHBH30 carburettor, the exhaust is a chromed large bore Sterling type and the electrics have been converted to 12V utilising a Mitsubhi system. With chromed long range fuel tank, it has electric start with extra battery. We also note reverse-pull front performance disc brake, adjustable rear shock and standard type front dampers, spoked front hub and high end Continental white wall tyres.

It presents extremely well with copious chrome and an array of lights and indicators front and back that we are told all work. In an attractive paint scheme, numerous accessories include rare Royale Enamel ‘bandiere’ flag footboard extensions and red bubble screen. The seat, spare wheel cover and back rest cover were custom made. Rarely used, we believe the 20 miles since restoration is genuine as it was only used for MOTs between 2013 and 2016. We are informed it is started regularly but believe it will need a short service before road use. Priced with an estimate at a fraction of the cost to have it commissioned.
