Hello - can anybody link me to the correct clutch plates and some advice on what else to maybe order from Scooter Mercado to replace those.

Sitting for at least 45 years when found a couple weeks ago. One owner family and the seller was in 80's and his son. Rebuilt the carb and it started on auxiliary tank. Tank out for cleaning. Everything works...all lights including brake light, horn, etc... but clutch basket is stuck. tried rocking. did not release it so going to open up motor and replace the clutch plates and springs.

I heard the clutch plates may be different form 1962 MK1 to this 1964 MK2? Which ones on Scooter Mercado...and what else to order?

Thanks for any advice on this.

Cool score.
It looks like these ( https://www.scootermercato.com/Scooter-Parts/Clutch-Plates/CLKITP200-SUR ) will do it but I'd remove and disassemble the clutch to see what shape it's in before ordering anything. You may need the whole assembly.
It is accessible from under the clutch cover. No need to open the motor beyond that.
Also, you might need a new a seat cover...

What a cool bike. Great score!
(Please dont paint that thing! Ok it's your bike... do what ya like, but it is worth way more in OG paint and that patina is gorgeous. FWIW)

Jack up the rear end, pull off the tire and remove the clutch.
Lots of good general info here:

thank you guys...appreciate the info. Last Vespa I had was in the 90's...a GS150 VS5 - I sold for $100 and never got paid! so, basically I gave it away. I never paint them...ever... Have Lambrettas now and all are OG paint. I've been hunting for a GS150 for years to replace the one my wife and I used to ride around on and go to the beach. Can't complain...found this GS160 and also a Blue Badge 150 recently. Both one owner and OG paint.

I'll look at the video and order what is I hope is needed, and if it turns out to be more, order more after. It runs good, I rode it with an auxiliary tank after jumping it in 2nd.
