Hi all! This "looking for" might be a little out of the ordinary. I'm tossing this out there, but I'm looking for my Primavera that I got separated from roughly 2006/2007. NoHo scooters had it at their shop, they were really great!
If you don't remember them, here's an article from some years back when they closed: https://patch.com/california/northhollywood/noho-s-scooter-source-says-goodbye

It's been a very long time but it would be so cool if it was still intact and taken care of. I've always wanted to know what happened to it and occasionally I still hope I'll see it for sale when I go lookin. I'll attach some pics.

Hey... I moved this to NSM as it will probably get more eyes on it in this forum.
Any distinguishing stickers or marks on the scoot? There are a whole lot of orange P's out there!

Hi! thanks.

I don't remember stickers, though there might have been one behind the leg shield that was really, really worn out and half peeled off.

The most identifiable things about it was the chrome headlight visor it had.

The front fender was a bit scuffed up on (my) left, and also, the same left for the leg shield in the front had a sort of bent dent thing going on. It wasn't very noticeable but it looked as though at one point the leg shield was bent back towards the seat/drivers side. Someone did a good job of getting it to look almost completely normal again.

This was probably almost 20 years ago at this point so my memory of it isn't too good.

You're the only person I know with an orange Primavera, BN Razz emoticon

I had one that color that came out of Missouri via Denver... or Denver via Missouri? Had a Mizzu inspection sticker and a Vespa of Denver dealer sticker.

My current primmy from Michigan is a lighter shade of orange.

Maybe Greasy's?

mayhaps....

mine came via Johhny Mule down San Diego way, but was courtesy Marcus darling up here in the echo park area and I'm pretty sure he scooped it from noho when I was gigging over there.

if you have a plate a partial vin I can confirm, or if you have any more pics at all I think it'd be a pretty easy match up.

Wow that sounds like a pretty close fit. I think The NoHo scooter shop closed a year or two after this, so if it didn't sell the year I took these photo's, it would still be from around that time. (Recession wooo)

I don't have any pics with the plate at all. But I do have a couple more, one from the side of the scooter. I didn't post them because I'm sitting on the scoot in them, and I was a kid at the time. I wouldn't mind sharing them via a message though.
