You must listen to "Lambrettavespascoota" by The Pop Rivets.... Peter: not true, jack. i could get it restored for under $1000, and in good shape, it might sell for closer to $3000. a simple engine overhaul (i could do the rest myself) would only be...... jack: the engine is seized and the cost would be more than the cost for a previously owned vespa, but then again it is older and pretty.... Jamie: why would anyone abandon a vespa like this? nice photos petey man. it looks almost as though he is sulking.... ian: I've been thinking about getting one for a while; probably a Honda or Yamaha because I can't afford a "real" Vespa.
