I don't know about that. This Malossi 166 I have now is not fussy at all and kicks my old P200's ass. It's like having my cake and eating it too.

Just saw this on Seattle craigslist and it's killing me I have no space. Hope someone on here can grab it: https://seattle.craigslist.org/see/mcy/d/seattle-1976-vespa-150-super/7751893358.html Cheers. MTC Is there anyone in the area that can look at it and make sure it's as good as it looks and then possibly facilitate the purchase and shipping? I know it's asking a lot but he is serious and will make it worth your time. I know this is short notice and it will probably be gone in a short time but we would like to try. Thanks. |

I should be able to have a look towards the end of the week if you can confirm that it's still available. I'm surprised it's lasted this long based on pics & price. Don't hold your breath though, he's just posted this

Yes it's a Stella but price is in range and it's got some goodies. Salvage title so make your decision and negotiate

Ok. This was on here late last year and I snagged it. Now it is taking up space in my garage and after the Rally acquisition this will not be resurrected…by me.
No title, no key. Frame VSX1T #28434 = '79 P200. Engine VNL3M #117324 = 1980 P125x. I've seen it start with spray down the carb. Haven't ridden it as it needs some cables. Right hand polini pipe and vespatronic ignition hint at what may be lurking in the cylinder. More pics on request. I only took out and cleaned the tank and cleaned cobwebs and carb a bit. Nothing more. $500 to MV peeps for this week only. Then it goes up to the general public for more. I'm in San Diego and LA delivery may be possible. PM me. Be patient as I have a busy day. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() |

10" conversion w/ sheriff's badge cover is a nice touch. Now where have I seen that before?

I see an old engine hoist or stand in the background, along with a bald mud tire off somebody's heavy chebby pick'em up truck. 50/50 chance of the seller even providing a bill of sale with his real name on it. I'd go as high as $450. Once home, then i'd stab a P200 engine into it. |

Wow. Looks like someone got a crazy good deal on a straight handlebar bike. What platform was that for sale on? |

Not a Vespa, but I just love everything about the IDEA of this thing. Less than an hour from my house, it's the most gorgeous thing. Quirky, slow, loud. Smokey.
https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/1975387762827694/?ref=showcase_feed But likely an impossible ass ache to restore. I would be working on it until the end of time and a tuned Vespa would kick its ass. ![]() |
