oldstandrobin Posted April 1, 2016 Report Share Posted April 1, 2016 A lot of you know that I restored a 1966 (apt year) Vespa 150 last year to commemorate our JPT win and also our promotion. A few people contacted me about some photos and here is the completed project. I hope to ride it to the gate for the last couple of matches this season ( my cousin Cyderedinacan will keep it at his house while we go to the match) Hope you like.

BobbyC Posted April 1, 2016 Report Share Posted April 1, 2016 Nice job! I used to have a Lambretta TV175 that was a little bit quicker than the Vespa especially flat out along East street,Bedminster,two up with sparks flying. Those were the days Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd love to see it fully restored. i remember a similar thread regarding scooters a while back and I posted then that back in the 70s any skinhead/mod owner a Vespa was laughed at as "uncool". i and all my mates owned Lambrettas. I finally ended up with a rebored 225. It was so long ago I can't recall which model but I thought I was the mutts nuts riding around on that bad boy. Bit of a babe magnet as well.......
