Dragon Red might be faster, but Vintage Red is where the style is at.

Vintage Red GTS
You can remove Kalendar, the fellas wife vetoed his Vepsa purchase. The phrase "putting my foot down" was used.

D'oh! I guess that might explain how Thomas got his.

There were two in the store when I got mine, so somebody else got the other one that was intended for Kalendar.

The last one
The last one went to nice older gentleman in Vaughan. I think that may be it in North America. Small club of 5 people. We still have a Midnight Blue GT 200 tho'. But my favourite was the Imperial Blue GTs from '05.

V-ROC welcomes Mesmer! - for rescuing a GT from Salvage. He didn't know it at the time, but we were watching him to make sure he made the right choice of paint.

Finished my Salvage GT

I'm going to find an identical garage and try to get a similar pic of the GTS for comparison. I think that colour is pretty darn close.

Hey Dave, the garages in my neighbourhood look just like that! Come on over to the Woodbine park neighbourhood in the Beaches.

FYI - there's a brand new Vintage Red on the sales floor at London Ontario Vespa. www.vespalondon.com

I stopped in there today to check things out - nice little shop, and lots of bikes on hand. Saw my first Scarabeo too - funky little thing.

Oh Dave.......BTW......RogerJ lives in Toronto and always has.
At the Halifax Scooter Council Rally in Annapolis Royal recently a guy with a Lammy 200 in restoration fell in love with my Vintage Red colour so I gave him the Vespa paint code. Maybe some day he will be an honorary member.

Sorry Roger, not sure why I thought you were from the 'burbs.
