New! Ready for a restoration!

[alexo]

Hi all!

Just joined with the intention of gaining as much knowledge as possible before I buy my first Vespa project!

I have always wanted a vintage vespa, and am fortunate to now be in a position to get started.

Im based in North London and currently work for an Italian super car company, so very familiar with italian machinery, particularly the vintage stuff!

Im hoping people can help me find the perfect vespa to restore. Im looking for a 60's or 70's model, not narrowed down to a particular model, and as original as possible but looking to fully restore, so as long as its straight, happy to carry out whatever work is required. I have found plenty of models from the far east and India aswell as ebay, but have read a lot of horror stories of poor bikes and ebay members who seem to have a lot of bikes in stock? Anyone have any links or suggestions as to where to buy from? 

Hope I can contribute to the forum with my build once I find the perfect bike to get working on and get out to some rallies!

Thanks!
Alex
