![]() Seeing the assembly line of different vehicles have always amazed me, It's just incredible how many things are going on at once and working in perfect harmony. But after searching the net for quite awhile and turning up 4 or 5 photos I turn to you to see what Vespa factory photos you might have saved up. Thanks and post'em up please! Keep it Vintage Vespa please

![]() It's sad, the OP put up some very cool vintage photos,
and then someone posts a link to bodge scooters. I don't know, but some people want to post on every thread, no matter if they have anything intelligent to add to it. It's as if anyone can walk into a conversation, and just change the subject. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Rob |

![]() The 3 millionth Lambretta was a Series 2 TV with a turning mudguard? Is this Spain or Italy? I'm confused.

![]() But surely all the Eibars and Servetas combined didn't even come close to the 3 million mark. Do you think they added their totals to that of the Italians, or Innocenti let the Spanish have the publicity boost of producing the "official" 3 millionth as some kind of cross-promotion?

![]() Ape - nice job! This is one of the best threads I've seen in a while. Great collection of photos of an era gone bye. If only I could get in a time machine and apply for a job at the Pontedera plant! I don't care how repetitive the work in a factory may be, getting paid to build Vespas or Lammies every day would have been awesome. Plus you would get to wear those cool jumpsuits to work each day.

I couldn't find what exact model this is, but it is probably a pre-1955 Rabbit.
