Nice price, for a great bike. Looks like cosmetic damage only. How many miles did it have on it?

The Vespa has only 3200 miles on it I got from a local salvage yard it had minimal damage to the left hand side. I've seen many Vespa's crashed with same kind of rash. "I'm not sure why they all seem to fall on left side." I'm having it painted today at a friend's shop for $450.00. It was only going to be 350.00 but he said it took many hours to take apart. I'll post the follow up pictures when it gets done.

Very nice, best of luck with it.

It reminds me of my LXV, which I bought with a salvage title and had similar damage. The left cowl was scratched and the brake lever was broken.
