Hi all,
I recently bought a Vespa Rally 200 from 1973 (VSE1T 0046xx & VES1M 0045xx) and I am trying to figure out in which country it was originally imported (I bought the scooter in Holland but it probably did not come from Holland).
From different sources, I collected information which might lead to a definitive answer but couldn't figure it out yet....Further specifications are:
* Speedo is in miles (and I think it is the original speedo, but cannot tell for sure)... this is my biggest questionmark since most of the other specs point to a non-US model
* Color is Arancio 907
* Autolube
* No battery and no key (wiring is matching with the w/out battery or key drawing on http://www.scooterhelp.com/electrics/pages/VSE1T.rally200e.htm)
* Kill button directly under the seat (next to the bag hook)
* No indicators or signs of them being on in the past (also not in the electrical harness)
* European style taillight (large plastic, black top, flush mounted to the rear frame)
* No inspection holes in the drum brakes (although, I am not 100% sure what they should look like but my Rally has no holes in the drum brakes at all)
* Old, European style fuel tap levers
* Holes drilled for a licence plate
Does anyone have ideas where my rally might come from based on the above, see strange specifications combinations or have ideas what other specifications to look for?
Many thanks in advance!!
regards, Jan Dirk
