Is it a sprint and not a GS?

That is correct.

So technically, it's now a Bodge. Maybe an Ameri-bodge, but a bodge nonetheless.

Love it! "1970 Vespa Sprint 150, styled as a 1964 Vespa GS". That's like saying "1973 Corvette styled like a 1967 L88". ROFL emoticon

From the one picture it looks nice, but a shame they didn't repaint it in the original blue.

Also, it's been25 years since the rebuild, which makes me wonder what shape the engine is in.

But if Fire engine red is your thing on a 1960 VBB, not too bad.... My 2 cents ..

I think it's not worth $2,600, even assuming it has no back fees. Also, something is off with the fork and/or mudguard, which is never a good sign.

Our Subaru was brand new ... back in 1999. When we sold it a couple of years ago, it was worn the heck out. Just saying.

I don't think mentioning it had a fresh rebuild 25 years ago is a real selling point.

If you have a spare set of casings, then this may be a deal to someone...

I have pointed out to the seller that the casings are scrap and sent what I think a fair bid is....but he didn't accept it.

Also, I suspect it might be a respray, because the mudguard reflectors are gone but there are no mounting holes.

Oh HELL yeah! Maybe a little crusty and rusty, but likely trusty solid P200 w/ only a little over 5K miles and clean title for only 700??? If you're in the market, don't mind a bit of work and close enuff, you'd be crazy not to.
