Nice job Andy. Did you paint those wheels or are they new?

hubs are painted rims are new chrome ones

My PX

Beautiful Collection. Scoot, Cars and an Original Full Service "Filling Station". Awesome!

My 05 Stella!

The 2006 Stella
The 2002 Metro
The 2005 Metro
The 1984 Aero 125
The 2007 Buddy 125

My old Stella, selling seat, hub caps etc

A few of our current collection and a couple of bikes recently sold.
LML NV had SIP race body accessories cut down front mudguard, led tail/brake light, underneath scoop, drop bar headset, racing seat, aftermarket side panels with wire mesh vents on the front of the panel for a little extra to cool things down, diamond plated steel floorboards, kitted with a Polini 171 head and piston performance enhancer for a good boost in horsepower and top and bottom pulling and quicker, upgraded shocks, JL expansion chamber to maximizing the Polini kit and loud enough so motorist can hear it coming behind or when it was passing them.

Good stuff modcoop.

Here's my finished heavily modified malossi/pinasco 225 lc P range
Ready its first outing ....

Giving this a bump.

Go on then I'll shove the latest one here ....... It was a t5 mk1 many moons ago .... This is its 4th incarnation since I got it 20 odd years ago .....

Anyone running the SIP wide tire kit on their P/PX?

1982 px200e

Love the sticker! If I had $20 for every time someone commented on how nice my Vespa "moped" is I could buy another "moped".

My baby...

El Guapo

This could be considered cheating, because this lady is a T5, but this is how she came to me and I love her...

T5 '88

t5 lump in a px frame ...... how very dare you 😆 ..... mine are a mk1 n a classic

great thread, where can I get a square headlamp headset for my p200e? saw loads on this thread.

which one?

Nice looking P!

Mortadelo's is probably a Motovespa T5 (square light, "coda tronca" end), but transformed, maybe like this one: http://brettontrips.blogspot.com.es/2010/11/recuperando-una-vespa.html

There were no motovespa's "classic" T5, but a TX200 model, mounting 200 engine into T5 sport frames. T5s nikasil piston & barrel were not enough rock-solid for spanish vespa users. T5 sales were poor and Motovespa profited the unsold T5 frames launching the more popular TX200. The stile of this frames is not appreciated and many t5 & tx have (sadly) been cut to PX style.

And another bit of Motovespa, my 1987 PX200E "Iris" (arcobaleno, lusso) Elestart.

Here is my 1979 P200E which I've just gotten back on the road after long rehabilitation. Tim at Galaxy Scooters reassembled it after I dismantled it to rid the body of rust and get it painted. Originally it was ridden in SF and then garaged near the beach for more than 30 years. I bought it from Scooter Bellissimo here in 2011. Still needs a little tuning.

New headset...

My 2 PX's. Black 99 166 and Battletank grey 89 225.

Newbie here from Wales with my Vespa clone. 😊

great thread and some great looking scooters, I would love this square headlamp head set for my p200e, where could I get one?

I've sent you a p.m. Check your messages...

Me too - that looks sweet!

So, I picked up this 2012 Stella a couple of weeks ago for $250.



Under 700 miles. It isn't as pretty as my P200E, but for the money I couldn't say no.

2008 Stella. Just picked it up last week. it had been sitting for 3 years, but the price was right. Have a bit o work ahead of me..

That's super pretty.

What work does it need?

Here's my 2008 LML Star after few improvements.
Made a new custom seat with a small italian flag at the back, did some tyre painting and I've installed a front rack.

Thanks. the body is almost mint, with just a small scuff/scratch on the right cowling.

But, it's sat for 3 years. If you look at the right side floorboard, you can see it's covered in oil/grease. Same for underneath the floorboard and all over the rear wheel. The kickstart goes down, but does not return on it's own. And of course, a lot of the rubber pieces are rotted and need replacing.
For $400 and only 1200 miles though, i couldn't pass it up...
