Lot 210: 1965 Lambretta 150cc SX 150 Series 3

In the years of the phenomenal success of the Li scooter, Innocenti produced a number of variations, each one more attractive than the last. First imported into the UK in 1966, the SX 150 was a popular version of the ‘150 Slimstyle’ edition of the outstanding Li 150 Series 3, the knockout scooter of the 1960’s. The SX had a re-ported, 9 bhp engine with a re-jigged gearbox to give more vivid acceleration as well as the bodywork styling and faceted headlamp of the Special / GP 200 machines. Production of this variation was curtailed in 1969, making it one of the harder to obtain models of the period. This “SX’, beautifully finished in the original option of blue and white, has been completely restored in Vietnam and is reported by the owner and importer as running and driving as well as it looks. Fitted with an accessory floor-mat, it comes with a full set of Duty Paid Import papers, enabling it to be registered here.
