Picked it up for $200 and turned it Ebay after I realized what parts for resto would cost. That put close to $900 in my pocket.
Anyway, just goes to show I have never paid market price for one of those either! I am a cheap bastard. 8^)

Cool....I have a 1984 Servetta Jet 200 (same as the Innocenti Lambretta) in Italy I use when I make my annual trip there.
I got it in 1991 for the great sum of 50,000 lira about $30 then. with 1,750 original Kilometers....was setting for previous 5 years unused under a cover.
