Bummer. Looks like you can get one from Allstyles but I have found their email/phone service to be shockingly bad, so will probably buy from the US

Best,

Mark

I simply love the saddle of the GTV, especially the brown leather ones. I think that I will have to get one for my GTS.

Never got on with mine, even after modifying the position with spacers as many others have done. Replaced it with a GTS saddle!

When I get round to it I will post the leather seat on eBay - it's been on a scoot used daily for 2 and a half years and condition-wise is (IMO) a 7 out of 10... if anyone's interested? New these seats cost an absolute fortune, cheapest price I found is here: http://www.sip-scootershop.com/EN/Products/PI496265/Seat+Vespa+GTV+seat+for+two.aspx

yes to the shocks up to top position,err forgot about the tyres but they seamed OK.

ordered a GTV Sport Flyscreen SMOKE
& Chrome Wings for the front badge.
should be here in a week or so from ScooterWest 8)

Pics awaited soon... 8)

this weekend at the Yorkshire Scooter Alliance invasion near York England

Wot no screen/wings???

not yet Mark,there on route from USA 8) .should be here this week.

? do you work from home `cause your always on here

[first modds, brand new Faco chrome side panel, Faco horn and fork cover, vintage brake cover, still waiting for Leovince Vintage, Andrew

Oh, neat! I haven't seen chrome side panels for the GT series before! Looks sharp with the horncover and fork cover. If it were possible to get a chrome headlight cone, that would tie it in perfectly.

beautiful looking GT60 you got there Andrew. 8)
wanted one like this when they first come out but couldn`t afford one then.

love the side panels,not seen them before,where did you get them from m8
seen the horn & fork covers,next on my shopping list.
also was looking at the vintage pipe earlier new on flee-bay,need to see one in the flesh before I part with nearly £300.

Went for a ride on the weekend and found a friend.

hello friend,nice pair of scoots.

added a larger tinted screen,wings badge and chrome side case cover.
sorry about the messy garage .work in progress .







better pics to follow.

no mods yet, only been mine for a week first job, seat tilt

Does that screen make a big difference to top speed? A particular issue with my 125, which gains 5mph when flat out if I simply duck down into the handlebars...

Best,

Mark

makes a big difference to me Mark.
the wind used to hit me in the throat at speed,now its higher much more comfortable.
just added a chrome GTV footplate,any more chrome and i`ll go blind.

Hi,
side panels are from sip, vintage exhaust just ordered directly in Italy and still waiting for it. GT is nearly new and imported from Manchester, huge troubles to get it to Germany but now everything is perfect.
Best regards Andrew

Hi Martin,
I think we are in a chrome contest ? lol. I also ordered the windscreen and the chromewings while MS had 20% for accepting a newsletter. Screen and wings just installed waiting for the exhaust. Your chrome footplate is very geil !!!
Andrew

crazy ain`t we Andrew,like a couple of Magpies,pick up anything shiney.
will have to wait a bit longer for new pipe/sidepanels/forklink cover/horncover as the wife said I have to spend some money on her now (bugger)

keep the pictures coming m8.

Look what popped up on eBay...!

Hello guys, more to come soon.

scooter lookin good Andrew........ what is geil ?
Mark,am also watching the GT60,always wanted one.

D'ohhh, the 4 hour drive to Peterborough from here is such a bugger. And I'm not sure funds will stretch, we are right in the middle of a house move and so I may not be able to bid

Assuming I don't I wish you every success!!

Best,

Mark 8) 8)

geil in german is the same as horny in english. As I tryed to get a GT60 there were only 6 ones, 2 in Australia, 2 in USA and 2 in GB worldwide available.
Regards Andrew

Screen looks great gismator!
Lovin the look of your GT60.

Just the small matter of taking a day out to pick her up.

Anyone wanna buy a GTV125? 2007 Avio Grey, less than 7,000 miles and with full service history; latest maintenance done by myself but previously main dealer serviced.

New LV 4Road exhaust and Michelin City Grip tyres (although I might swap those Savas over...).

12 months tax & MOT.

One previous owner and in GRRREAT condition!

How does £1,950 sound?

Best,

Mark

Congratulations Mark

I wondered if anyone here had got it.

Enjoy it and good luck with the GTV.

Thanks 60yoMod!

Edited to add... "These are the eBay pics":

Best,

Mark
