Yeah $2200 for a solid looking VBA belongs in this thread, some of the prices lately seem like wishful thinking if you've been around these things for a while. And here's a solid looking '63 GL150 project in New York for the same money that seems like could be a decent deal: https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/368183502707513/

I found a slightly older FB listing, asking 3k- exact same verbiage, with pics. He sprayed over some sweeet patina. Original white paint looked really good, would have cleaned up nice. https://www.facebook.com/share/p/wis91e1BuDsZPabV/?mibextid=79PoIi

MRF Nylogrip tires are from India. The front is a Baja 10 inch fork I'd guess.

http://www.scooterhelp.com/restorations/vbb.10inch.html

There were Bajaj VBB 150s made in India, but I don't know the tells to determine if this is one or not. Another potential issue is that the engine may be Bajaj/LML.

Iffy that there are no details in the listing. It has a P/LML type engine, which takes some hacking to fit. front swing arm angle looks way high. Fresh paint always scares me when there is no provenance.

Marvel Mystery Oil, and/or Acetone+ATF 50/50. You'd be surprise at what will free up with just a good soak.

No, because you should embrace it and live it up! Who else can claim to have done a rebuild from the comfort of their swimming pool?

Yes, with many Fresno days over 100 degrees, working in the pool was a good way to go except when I dropped a wrench. I have since bought a lift and lost about 50 pounds so tinkering is a little easier now.

I'm interested in the P200 and am in touch with the seller so we'll see what happens.
