Vespa smallframe v90 unfinished project. may swap for daily driver px200. needs work. V5 matching numbers.
This was designed by me in the late 80s and spray job was by surrey and hants scooters not sure who they got to spray murals, cost me most of my student grant I remember and ended up doing double shifts in hospital kitchens to pay for rent.
The frame is clean, straight and rot free, I had to replace the mudguard as original was fibreglass and didn't fit and was soon wrecked in testing. the paint on replacement mudguard has flaked and will need respraying or vinyl wrapping, which would be easier and allow adding of graphics. the wheels and hubs etc are black smooth hammerited, some like fly wheel cover and rear light will need redoing, or stove enamelling.
When I briefly lived at mums again in 2012 I dragged it out of shed, front wheel bearing was seized, and screwed thread on backplate. There is a spare forks and hub.
The engine is not seized but not run in 20 years. May need fuel system and or carb cleaning. Not sure but a new carb might be necessary as might have petal missing from manifold but may of got that sorted will need to check. My da an raf Vulcan bomber/Hercules/brittania engine fitter rebuilt engine with rebored barrel and new piston, and four speed gearbox. but that was 25+ years ago. no guarantees it wont need new seals. expect it will be usable pretty bullet proof engines.

£1500 max, personal paint jobs are just that. Personal. What one man thinks is the business, the next will think ts worthless.
Things that add value are engine upgrades, suspension, and neat engneering.
My personal opinion, just saying...........

Cheers lads
All to true saw low milage piaggio wk vs dundee 125 on ebay for 550, now thats a personal taste statemment check it out.
Also take the point about modern disc forks etc, but wernt any back in 89. Still with original parts i got offered 1300 but to let restorer shoot it baby blue would break my heart.
