In 1952 production started of French built LDs and these had a variety of differences from the Italian models. These changes were mainly due to French regulations. The choke, fuel filler and fuel taps were moved to arguably a more convenient location (something Innocenti later copies on subsequent Italian models). Societe Industrielle de Troyes produced almost 200,000 scooters and 10,000 three-wheelers in its scooter production time. This example is has been restored some time ago in an attractive Baby Blue colour. It is complete but needs some attention. The scooter has not been used for some time. Many of the important parts including original lights, speedometer, frame plate, front badge are present. There are also, nowadays, a number of performance kits for LD’s which include new carburettors and it could be possible that this example is a good candidate for customisation. It could also be displayed as a static ‘objet d’art’. Our vendor is selling only due to ill health. It is offered with ‘no reserve’.

Requested specifically for the UK Market by Lambretta Concessionaires the GT200 fulfilled demand for a higher capacity model than the TV175. With a comprehensive history file this GT200 was originally built in 1963 and first registered in Greenock, Scotland under the registration number ‘FVS 233B’ in June of 1964. The machine then changed hands in 1971, with an owner who was inspired by the 1960s racing Lambrettas, built by the likes of Arthur Francis, and set about building a version of his S-Type dealer-special, which is how the machine remains today with it’s dazzling paint intact from that period. However, in 1973 the owner placed the machine in storage where it gathered dust for over 40 years.

It was then recommissioned. having been subject to a comprehensive rebuild, this GT200 doesn’t leave a lot to be desired, having had a full engine rebuild with a new Amal Carburettor. It appears to be in excellent working order with a fine matching patina.
