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 late production example was restored at the time of import by JD Classics of Gillingham, Kent circa year 2000. Our vendor tells us that in this time it has only travelled 400 miles and this can match with the mileage recorded on the speedometer. With correct late production features including rectangular badge, SH1/20 carburettor and grey plastic toolbox, the scooter appears to be presented in excellent condition. All keys are present with the tools and tool roll. At the time of restoration the vendor changed the wheels to chrome versions although the original set of 3 White Innocenti wheel rims are supplied with the lot. The scooter started easily and appeared to be working well at time of consignment although we would recommend a basic service due to the fact the scooter has seldom been used. The sale is due to poor health and the owners helmets are also included along with an SX200 instruction book.
