hi guys anyone knows whats the aprox year and model name of this vespa? it looks like a hybrid of a sprint and a PX  has same rear cowls as the sprint- left one with a storage compartment but the front middle area where the horn is, is removable and squarish and the head light piece is different too... any ideas? thanx  |

Main frame looks rather PX as does back light..
Headset looks PX apart from the light, not sure what a T5 mk1 looks like without the plastic shroud, but that could be it.
Old pre PX style forks though...
I was thinking Spanish TX, though these did all have PX side panels and PX forks.. maybe a bitza?

The old spanish PE without indicators had the old stile fork fitted. The headset isn't T5 but one of the numerous variations the PX had abroad. If you look up on Brazilian Ebay you'll notice the different headset. Brazilian Vespa were badged Motovespa. I have seen it even in many asiaric markets, indonesia, vietnam etc. fitted on the P150S. Brazilian PX  P150S  |

wow, that looks like a freak of nature ;D Next restoration project Rudi? ohhh no.......  i don't think i can do it again, im the kind that gets sucked into those things, when i restored my sprint i literally paused my life for about 60 days or to paraphrase it - as Spence said in one of the threads, "I rather stick wasp up my arse" than going through that again...  |

but then something comes along... ;D nice saying , so true to lots of stuff... anyway, i did exaggerate a bit...it depends on the model i guess. i wouldn't say no to a VBB for ex. if it has the papers, bring it on... ;D but this time i would work on it just a bit every now and then, take my time.... (ah ah....) |
