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 head-set 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 very late production example was sold by Salford Scooters and first registered on the 5th August of 1968, to a Frank Caldwell of Macclesfield. It appears to have remained in the Manchester area its whole life. It was discovered and restored some 17 years ago and this is how long the current owner and vendor has had it. Over the years the vendor who is a regular scooter rider over long distances has maintained it well and made some small adjustments to suit regular use. Despite his best intentions, however, the vendor has so many scooters that he rarely has used it and in 17 years he has only done 446 miles on it. This is supported by the MOTs that come with the lot.
Believed to be the 119th last Italian SX200 off the production line it therefore has the very late features of push in buffers in the forks, rectangular horn cast badge and GP style wheels. The Black switch and late rear frame badge are original as are all of the keys which are all present. The Grey toolbox is the original. The electronics are 12v. The engine is standard except that the top end is a 200cc Mugello coupled with a 2/22 Dellorto carburettor and Tutto Lambretta exhaust. The seat is the original Giuliari with a quality replacement Green cover. The scooter has new tyres and is ready to go!
