Modern Vespa

Hi,

I'm looking to buy a Vespa Madrid rack, I know there's a remake available but it's a little different from the original design (which I prefer)
If anyone has one for sale can you let me know.
It's to fit on a vespa rally.
If I can find a picture of the the i want I'll post it up,

Thanks
Trojac

The Madrid rack

You could try

TSR. The scooter republic.

The best of luck.

1/2 way down the page

Be careful when ordering. Mounting points are different for US version vs. Euro (at least they were for my Rally 180). I have a euro sitting on shelf now.

That's the only place I know of that sells them. Looks pretty close, but the bit behind the seat is more vertical.

I thought the remake was ok until I saw it on a scooter and it's quite a bit bigger and I think spoils the look.
I really want to hold out for an original one.[img][/img]

Looks a bit big to me

You can carry more beer, safer?

This dude has a bunch of them. He's in Spain as well, so I assume they're the real deal. These are just two on his listing, but he has several others.

Nice find!

That's a great find, not sure I like his prices, but I might contact him anyway. EUR185 euros with shipping is borderline extortion ( and I think it might be missing the little rubber feet to help it sit on the frame, but that's a question I need to ask)
Big thank you though

Anyone else who actually has one for sale in the UK who doesn't want me to trade in a limb to buy it please let me know

I know how you feel about the price, but let me tell you that the new reproductions are pretty poor. I had one that was from a UK producer named S_ _ _ _ _ _ _ a. It looked nice, but the springs constantly disengaged from their anchor points (making them useless). It looked exactly like the one on the white Vespa you posted above. I would guess that those springs won't last more than a year before they break. Old stuff rules.
