Someone with knowledge will hopefully confirm if that could be original paint, turn signals etc... if so w/ 540 miles that is nice... Not the "deal o' the day" but nice nonetheless.
don't know if the paint is original ,but the color is. this is the 3rd one i've seen this color. and my px200e is the same color.

Here's the deal of the day, if you want a project that will take some serious money and effort to complete. I passed on it due to already having two bikes sap all the money out of my pockets, but maybe someone here will want to undertake the resurrection!

Rally 200 for $250

Here are some pictures the seller sent me:

Vespa 150
This guy looks reasonable, if anyone wants a 150 that probably just needs some minor restoration. About an hour and a half north of NY:

"black. needs tlc runs and drives, clean regestration. 50 year old bike that starts up every time. make offer or trade for older british car..... look im not askin for 2000 but dont lowball me and offer me $300 either. also call me up first! i will NOT respond to just an email or txt message of "will you take $600" for gods sake you work hard for your money and shouldnt shoot me prices on something you never saw! thanks"

Woke up early for work and perused the clist, came across what I think is a easy fix and decent P series.

Everything about this bike says quick fix and runner to me.

I was thinking the same thing too. I mean it's not like things are worn or broken...just old and unused

I don't always admit stuff about my scoots

But when I do, I confess that MOST of my old motors(lo mile) are unsplit & run fine with original seals.
Probably run better with new ones I suppose.

how many thousands of mile per year do you ride them? sure you can get by with old ass seals if you are only doing 100 miles a year. I ride mine at least 20 miles a day, and can easily do 200 in a weekend. that kind of riding will tear through some 40 year old engine with original seals.

Absolutely, we're at the opposite ends of the spectrum for most of mine. And I can tell you, my Rally is getting tired - it's the only one here that piles up miles. It's a lo mile motor & still runs smooth, but I can feel the compression is way down from my fresh GL motor w/ 177 kit. Power's less too.

I'm sure not ADVOCATING driving a worn motor into the ground, especially if you know you'll need to rely on it. If I was*RESTORING* that's another story, I'd go thru the motor too.

I just like to get 'em running again, sort thru all the controls & mechanicals outside the case and ride 'em around when the scooter's not been used much previously. Guess I'm lazy & if it still works OK, I just can't make myself 'rebuild' it. That's why I don't always admit stuff about my scoots.

Always floors me when a fifty year old motor with only a good carb cleaning runs at all, but usually they run pretty well. Maybe luck, YMMV.


Deal @ $2200 ?

Here's a Lambretta with an 50 year old lo mile motor, at a very fair price. Looks soooo good, only 1753 miles! Wish it was closer & I could see in person. They have a couple others posted up for a little more.

That Lambretta Li 125 is most certainly a bargain. A very nice bike and a very nice and honest owner. We've known him for years.

He has a couple other bikes at good prices for sale. Check out the "For Sale" section of his website, http://www.planetlambretta.com/.

I first met him through the VWs I used to own while in San Diego. I would drive up to his place in L.A. His restorations are wonderful. His collection of Lambrettas is cool. And his workshop is horribly clean.

My buddy had a 58 we worked on a couple years ago but it was nothing major. this will be my first scooter. I am mechanically inclined bu still learning about them. Figured if the price was good I got plenty of space and time to work on it. Thoughts?
