Some early Jet 200's had the SX style sidepanels with the "200" flash. The Serveta version of the SX 200 was called the "Jet 200". The Serveta LI Special and SX's have the same bodywork as the Innocenti LI models with the exception that the Servetas generally came with the LI style cowls which had attachment clips in the back rather than external handles. StyleĬosmetically, the Servetas are slightly different from Innocenti-made Lambrettas of the same model. There are several differences between the Italian and Spanish models that one should be aware of when purchasing a Serveta. The Serveta company of Spain obtained the presses for the LI 150 Special and SX 200's when Innocenti moved on to build the GP range. It does not appear that the dealer network was particularly big, or that the scooters were commercially successful, because Servetas seem to keep turning up virtually unused throughout the US up to the present day. It appears that Serveta imports to the US began in the late 70's or early 80's, and only in limited numbers. These Serveta scooters were however, imported to the U.S. The license moved to a new compnay called Serveta, which produced Series III models. As far as I know, none of the early LD or Series II models were ever imported from Spain to the US. They made a version of the early LD, and also the Series II. Actually longer than Lambrettas were made in Italy by Innocenti! Early on, Lambrettas were manufactured in Spain by a company called Eibar. Lambrettas were made in Spain from around 1955 to the late 1980's.
