I'm at work surveying a cramped warehouse when I suddenly realize I'm standing right next to a row of vintage scooters! They look like they've been there for quite a while and are all either pretty beat or have 80 resto jobs/bodgery, but there appears to be an SS180 in there. From what I can tell it's a repainted Allstate, a bodgy looking VBB, an SS180 redone in the 80s or 90s, a Servetta lambretta, a P or PX, and an original VB with spilt headset. It also sounds like they may be moving buildings soon so I might leave my info in case they want to get rid of them.

nothing says nam bike more than a black paint job. however there appear to be some honest scooters in the bunch as well. would be sweet if you can pick up the lot for a song.

The black one was particularly sketchy looking with pitted chrome addons and a perfectly smooth engine cowl.

if that split top is OG paint, that's a neat little find. OF COURSE the SS is missing the louvers! the jet looks clean as all get out. 99% the black bike is SEA or has a bunch of import parts. the P looks reasonable, and it has S1's on it so it hasn't been out of commission *that* long.

^^^ this. See if he is interested. Maybe get an accurate inventory and some better pix. I'd be willing to negotiate the deal.
