 Update April 14, 2004
The bike as been completely rebuilt, though as it was before; new paint job, new engine rebuild as per standard spec. I am reporting the mail Eddie sent me with the new pics of the bike:
 
Hi Paolo.
At last here are the pic’s of  my sx now it’s finished,it doesn’t look much different but the spec for the scoot is ,engine compl;etly standard exhaust standard 12volt electronic in tool box with 6 volt coil and rectifier on show 
Also compressor for air horns in tool box, footboard extn’s from racing lambretta’s .com cheers mate, twin lucas spotlamps all rubbers fork springs bushes etc from Rimini Lambretta Centre cheers Dean. I have done about 50 miles so far and I am amazed how responsive the engine is in standard form any speed any gear and it pulls very well (I must keep the speed down LOL)
This is how it was before
