End of the PX

[Spence]

Check out this photo gallery by Sky News to mark the demise of the Vespa PX, thanks to the Euro w*nkers in Brussels. I think you'll recognise the person in the 6th photo:

Good link.

Shy and retiring ;D That is the best example of a modded up scoot I've ever seen though, whatever happened to it then?

Much better than the lousy article from the Mirror, which was drwn to my attention via another forum. Not as much fun as this Forum btw.

LOL, I've not actually seen that pic before, after a bit of an 'off' it sat in the garage for a while, then got rebuilt with even more bling than before and a Lambrella front mudguard which meant I could hang more off the front!

I sold it in 1984 for £1k and bought a car for £280! the lad who bought it was only 16 so I had to fit a 50cc engine back in it!

After a couple of months it was stripped down, presume he sold all the bling, which is a shame!

Where do these muppets get their copy.
