Modern Vespa

Hi I was left a vespa 150 sprint no reg been trying to do checks online but unsure what the 17 digits I have to enter and any iv tried says wrong vin number any help would be appreciated photo attached

Number in between stars, looks early sprint, 66 or 1967

ohhh... let's see the rest of the bike!

btw, birbs still has the action from Singapore and NO, I've got Vegas and Jakarta.

I'll let him set the line, but I'm on bodge money

Yeah know the bike is early have 6 more including a gs but when I check the vin for this online says wrong vin so not sure if the 4 or second last number is not a 3 what I think is

What I see mybe Iafter the 66 is a 4 and last number is 0 but when I enter them online says wrong vin

So what I think I see is vin vlb1t035664igm38830m
When try online even paying sites gives me error wrong vin

disregard the IGM number entirely.

VLB1T is sprint
035664 codes out to 1966

Yes but what I'm Trying to say is when I enter the vin online to do check it's saying invalid vin so I'm in the UK there was no v5 or reg on the vespa like many I was left only a 125 special had the v5 and reg

Then would leave 16 numbers last number is a m is it not and when do checks online says last 4 numbers have to be numbers

scooters did not have 16 digit vins until the mid/late 80's and even then not all did.

here, plug in your info and stop at the 4

Thanks for your speedy response much appreciated

The thing is I know it's a vespa sprint 150 it doesn't have number plate so I'm trying check vin number online but when I do sites say its a invalid vin number but thanks for trying to help

it's probably not in their data base because it's an imported bike. and if I had to guess, from south east Asia.

bet you dollars to donuts that's a made up vin that's been restamped.

I wouldn't have a clue but I doubt my uncle would of been interested in anything other than Italian he lived for the bikes I have no knowledge in them but one he left in bits gp 150 I'm trying rebuild it myself here's photo

How iv got it going so far

17 digit VINS started in the mid-1980s.

Piaggio didn't have them, so added ZAP plus a bunch of zeroes or random characters to the beginning to make 17, and it was just on a sticker.

In California, you can register older bikes with their original VINs.

Yeah bit off hassle looks like I'm going have to go down the route off getting them nova and registered as imports even tho I have some bikes with documents when was registered UK in 60s but when enter registration online nothing shows so mybe when the updated there records to v5 paper forms not showing

What type of vespa would this be

In the U.S., you can call the Department of Motor Vehicles and give them the ten digit VIN and they'll tell you if it's stolen or not.

If it's not in the stolen or fined database, you can get a Vermont registration. Then take that Vermont registration to your local department of motor vehicles and get a title in your state.

Good luck!

wow, you are just all over the place. good luck with whatever droids it is that you're looking for.

I've never had a problem registering an old bike in California.

If it's not in the system, that's probably because the registration expired 50 years ago. You just say you bought it for $75 at a garage sale, and they'll be like "fill out this statement of facts."

Then it's fine!

push!

What is droids im not all over the place was just looking some advice but whatever im out my depth

Look up Rob Skipsey on Facebook. He deals with DVLA all the time. £100 quid and saves you lots of headaches as he does it all.

Maybe I've had too much wine. I see Vespa serial numbers and Lambrettas in the same string of discourse.

Derp

Seems like this person might be better off talking to a shop or auction house or something.

Looks like they inherited the estate of a passionate scooter collector person, and are looking to sell it.

Have you tried the Vespa Club of Britain ? They can usually help with dating certificates and registrations.

I thought the exact same thing!

Those are Lucas 576 spot and fog lights on the first lambretta picture.

Apart from that, maybe post up a pic of the vespa you are trying to sort the vin number on, and the vin itself.
