What model is this?

A Spanish JET 200 is a descendant of the SX200.

The Serveta JET 200 was sold from 1967 until the very early 80's. This is a mark 3 'skinny' damper type and is typical of the 1970's.

It is thought that some 17000 200cc versions were made. However less than 6000 'skinny' damper versions were made and so many have been 'Italianised' over the years.  

History of Spanish built Lambretta's

Lambreta’s were first introduced into Spain in the early 1950’s. These machines were Innocenti models. Production of Lambretta in Spain began in 1954 by Lambretta Locomociones in the town of ‘Eibar’.

All early models were locally produced copies of Italian models – all were badged as ‘Eibar’ (rather than Innocenti).

Following the demise of the Innocenti factory, the Spanish were forced to reorganise their Lambretta production. In late 1973 they renamed themselves ‘Serveta’.

Production of Lambretta in Spain continued until approximately 1987, when the factory finally folded. Towards the end, production was in small batches and had split across two sites. 

Spanish produced Lambretta’s are generally regarded to be equal (or even higher) quality than their Italian equivalent models. It was no accident that Innocenti allowed the Eibar factory to produce the 3 millionth Lambretta in the world in 1964.

Generally all ‘Eibar’ badged models are as good as an Innocenti produced machine. Plus most parts are inter-changeable between Italian and Spanish machines.

As production carried on into the 1980’s ‘Serveta’s’ did pick up a bad reputation for their poor electrics – however in all other aspects they were much better than the equivalent Indian produced models. 

Why buy this model?

A Serveta JET 200 is a good value for money Lambretta model. Well built and with plenty of spares availability, the JET 200 is slightly different to the normal Lambretta. It is powerful and smooth to ride. A machine that is a little different and unusual..
