Hi all,

Could anyone tell me which model with the vin numbers beginning - ZAPM0****** belongs to ?

Cheers.

www.scooterhelp.com/serial/ves.serial.numbers.html       you will have to have the numbers that follow unless you want to do a manual search

You wont find that one on scooterhelp.com

Is it an auto? if so, I believe the model type/code is in the 'M0' and the 3 digits that follow it.

The 'ZA' means made in Italy and the 'P' means Piaggio.

I had a quick look yesterday.
In Scooterhelp frame numbers
www.scooterhelp.com/serial/ves.frame.serial.numbers.html

there is ZAPM09000 and ZAP18000, but without the rest of the numbers I haven't got any result.
You might get something if you put the whole number in?

Tried scooterhelp with no joy.
The exact prefix isn't listed.
Im trying to check if everything's "above board and legit" on a possible purchase.
Seller says its a 125 PX disc on a 2005 plate??
Dunno am I being too cautious ?

Cheers.

I stand corrected sime, seems like they did use that prefix on some PX's as well as on autos..

I do vaguely remember an abandoned 2003 PX disc model I rescued last year was something similar.

swm, think you just need to see the frame number stamp itself and see if it looks genuine and ties up with what is on the V5, if so then probably just fine, if it has no V5, that's a bit more of a gamble.

You could always call Bill Drake of the VCB who is the guy who does all the Vespa dating certs, he will know what that prefix is from for sure
