Around 9,400 units of the Lambretta dl 200, known in England as the GP 200, were built. The number of dl and GP 200 electronics that left the factory is unknown.
In our history of each model we find this quote in the section on the dl / GP model history:
"But the ultimate improvement for the DL 200 was the introduction of an electronic ignition, developed in collaboration with Ducati. The DL 200 Electronic is easily recognizable by a sticker on the leg shields. The GP 200 Electronic for the UK market also has a special seat. This newly shaped seat with its structured cover is clearly reminiscent of the interiors of sports cars from the 1970s. Unfortunately, no production figures for the Electronic are known, as it was produced from 1970 onwards alongside the standard version with breaker ignition."
Vittorio Tessera from CASA LAMBRETTA and MUSEO SCOOTER & LAMBRETTA Ruhm takes a closer look at the quantities of dl and GP 200 electronics that were built in the brilliant:
A must for every Lambretta fan!
Our red bgm CDI unit was intended as a tribute to the original electronic ignition. But the seats for the Lambretta GP 200 Electronic were always as rare as hen's teeth.
As demand grew, we began to have these seats reproduced. It was easy to find the company to do it. Who else to trust but our Italian craftsmen to make them Handmade in Italy.
The difficult task was to start the project with a good sample. Fortunately, we found help from our friend Martin Robinson from England, who delivered not a sample but three original seat frames and two seat covers on his way to the Milano Taranto race. Now the detective work began in England, Italy and Germany, and we examined sizes, dimensions, angles and materials.
We are more than satisfied with the result and can offer complete seats and seat covers directly from the SC shelf. We had them made with the original factory black stitching and a vintage version with white stitching. The original black cotton thread fades over the decades. Something we explored earlier on the SC blog:
