I like documentation, reading and can manage Italian. Also little to no shipping costs involved.
The question is which one (maybe two) to get fírst (and second)?

1965 to 1976 is the one I use most but that reflects the bikes I have.

The one up to 64 is my second choice.

thank you

I think 65 ´76 also probably represents the largest advances so had that as possible first.

#4 ; special models is enticing

Do note, they are a good coffee table book with great model information, production runs, paint colors of those production runs, etc. but, don't be fooled by the name. There's very little technical information included in the series. FWIW.

Have that on my coffee table

Silly cheap for what it is imo.

My doubt about the Tecnica, they are not cheap after all, is that it will not cover the MotoVespas and those are what rolls around here. The differences are not shocking but nonetheless not to be ignored.

The examples shown are not necessarily correct either I hear.

For the time being not ordering a Técnica and to try out Scooter Centre have ordered;

External inline image provided by member with no explanatory text

Should be nice with the owners telling some about their featured scoot.

They do not. Motovespa, ACMA, Hoffman, Douglas, etc are mentioned in volume4 but with zero depth and almost no model specific information at all.

True. Nothing outrageously incorrect, just a few instances of like a trim piece being incorrect, or a tailight housing being off by a year or two.
