They are very nice & interesting, too.

If they are original paint, are they unmolested, too?

The combination of the non-chrome ring, horncasting badge, panel handles, horn/dipswitch & trim colours was not one I would expect, but not surprising. Notice that some of the (black) horncasting & mudguard trim has shrunk (as usual!)

They may be of Spanish manufacture as I suspect my own SX is. When I acquired mine, though, I had much less to go on!

This is the equivalent of Fiesta Readers Wives for Lambrettas.......

I agree with Warkton Tornado, pure scooter porn!

I'm all for riding scooters, not hiding them. But these two are gold-dust G, take good care of them :-)

Are the white wheel rims standard? Prefer them to silver but thought they always came silver?

Alright Stuart long time no see or hear ?? with the exception of that meet on
the Cromwell road , you in a jeep me on a SX200 :D :lol:
As far as I'm aware all US SX's came with white rims. However I could stand
to be corrected .....all the ones in original condition I have had , had white rims.
I have been riding this one all week 8-) Only thing I did was a 12V conversion
and a new 25mm carb. Runs very nice . Take care . G.

Could you send a series of photos gradually revealing more & more, please? You decide the order but the final shot(!) should be panels off, seat hinged up, & the toolbox door wide open & gaping....

Terrific Scooters well done G .....Just out of curiosity do you remember an Amercican Guy posting on this site some years ago with a SX 200 he'd managed to acquire from either a private collector or from a Museum all in original paint hardly any miles on it in Tip Top condition .....his username was Da'Surfer think he was based in Hawaii ....he posted lots of pictures on this site...although it would have been on a previous LCGB Forum ...

Yes I remember that post , he found it with very few miles on it and he still had the original shipping crate with it
if memory serves .
