Step 1. Get given a Vespa (NZ 150 Sportique/VBB) when 15 years-old by an older friend (the one from up the road who taught me how to skateboard.)
Step 2. Fail to get it going (woodruff key kept shearing), and end up storing it in dad's barn.
Step 3. Wait 25 years...
Step 4. Finally have the reason and means to fix it up but not the time...
Step 5. Buy a 'restored scooter' from a dealer to skip the resto - fail (another thread... OMG! Look what I just scored - 1977 Sprint 150
Step 6. Take dealer to disputes... win (phew)
Step 7. Finally go back and pull out the scooter from the back of dad's barn...

The Barn

Even a Model A in here... but the Vespa is buried

Pulled these down from the rafters... These are spares with no frame. Home to rats for 25 years it seems.

Literally right at the very back of the barn - a little pop of baby blue. Way too much stuff in the way though.

Go round the back and remove the iron sheets and she's right there...
