I thought Vespas had bulgy side panels with engine in one side and spare wheel in the other. I thought the slender panelled ones were Lambrettas :/ Your bike though , so you must know...
I was thinking about an A65 lump? I had a mint A65 a couple of years ago - first of the unit engines 1962 and it was easy to kickstart
The yellow and purple one was a Lambretta GP200(230) and the little pic of the red one was a Vespa 50(105) , You are quite correct the fat ones are Vespa's...Lambretta a far superior machine.
see them at the H cafe quite a bit, always more people ogling their scooters and other assorted contraptions than the posh bikes lol

Didn't spot the little pic, which is why I was confused by the reference to a Vespa. Thought the yellow one looked every inch a Lambretta. Was there an SX 200 as well?
Still looking for a nice genuine TV200 (thrupney bit headstock forerunner to the SX). Now they are like rocking horse shit. Had a GP200 back in the day (square headstock). Runs with 50+ scooters to Brighton/Dover etc. Great days.
I'm not that surprised that values are high, the SX200 was a fabled machine when I was in the 6th form at school. For anybody who owned a Lambretta at that time and wants to relive their youth, that's the one they'd want.
