I had a SX200 back in the late 60's, early 70's. Sold it in around 1973 so I could get my first car. Regretted it ever since, especially as I sold it for £110. Loved my SX200.
@@VESPAUKofficial well, petrol was around 17p a gallon and 1 shot was about 1p..About a dozen of us had scooters, all but one on Lambrettas. Mine was the only SX200, I had it rebored to 225, competion clutch, Amal carb (cannot remember the size) and GT200 gears. It went very well. Not sure that it is still around, the lad I sold to came of it a few times in as many weeks, my pride and joy. What would it be worth today £12000 - £15000.
@@allanthomas-wc8ff 17p a gallon, I mean wow. Thanks for sharing that with me. Love the stories from those times. You guys had some good times huh ? How things have changed now
