Modern Vespa

love it! It's so original. That silver paint degrades so quickly, it's amazing to see one that still looks glossy.

I know - if only I had a way to get it down here I'd probably snag it

transportation can be dealt with if you want it.

Gorgeous P

<<<<<<

I have a weakness for the silver ones.

it's just up in Healdsburg. Zipcar has vans and pickup trucks... The dealership might deliver it to you too.

Looks really nice!

I can't drive with my broken shoulder right now. But delivery... hm... I'll communicate with the wife on this. I was thinking of trying to get my paws on a rally, but it's an impressive specimen of a P

Nice rally that's reposted,hasn't sold.

Thanks Mud - I should clarify my budget is quite tight and getting a new scoot definitely means getting rid of my old trusty P I broke myself on. Lots to think about (including confirming the condition of my current bike)

Vintage Vespa Scooter 1979 P200E - $2950 (Old Naples)

Complete engine overhaul by Master Vintage Vespa Mechanic Darren Miles of Sarasota, Florida within the last year. Cable lines, gas lines, and brake lines, too were all changed out. I purchased this Vespa in 2001, has rarely been used, and been garage kept. Runs great. A fantastic price at $2950.

Here's a "shifty" - a suicide "shifty":

That Indian looks like it should be parked outside a club in South Beach, where it can be appreciated. (not a complement)

Yeah...not really sure that $2950 for a 79P is quite the deal of the day...well it would be...for the seller.

What models are these and are they worth picking up?

Future projects or just parting out.

I'm only a couple hours away.

Thanks

Never mind, I'm 6 hours away. =\

RUN don't walk

I have your hundred $ for first dibs on several parts I spied and you get to keep nearly everything. Likely another ~500 worth of parts, if you can't see fixing them both yourself. Maybe save the VBB?, easier to find a motor for.

Guessing a VBB & a late widebody, both motorless



edit: dang, you had me going =\

Well, I hope someone here can snag them if they are close enough.

How hard would it be to get them shipped somehow I wonder or would it even be worth it.

Nice Lammy in Houston.

Very cool, hope it works out for you!

Thanks! We'll see - guy isn't answering the phone right now, probably out enjoying a farmers market or something. It would be nice to have such a clean machine to take to work when my shoulder is functioning in a couple of weeks

Wow. 875 miles.

875 and not selling.Those 2 rally aren't selling ether.
Watched a 64 150 Allstate original owner with 4k in receipt in past year for $2300 took a long time for that to sell.

Frog ,another silver 200,now that's 4
http://portland.craigslist.org/mlt/mcy/3957534403.html

Its not original paint though.

I like this P.. even at 1800

I didn't read it ,was just saying there's 3 1/2 silver ones for Frog

Is that orange rally all original?He has 2.

That's so crazy. That there are so many silver P200s in near perfect original shape in the $2k range. Considering a good paint job (not counting all the work of tearing down/reassembling) can be $1200+

Says its a rally motor $300

I know it isn't a shifty, but this looks like a good deal.

http://inlandempire.craigslist.org/mcy/3997343606.html

I believe this original $1100 '79 P125 should clean up beautifully. A little love rubbing and you can save paintjob money for better things.
I like this one a LOT. Won't last long I bet.

Buff, primp & polish, it already has a fresh tune. Smoked turns & Euro tail - roll like a boss the RED KING!

I wonder if those stock U.S. tail lights will ever be a desired item.

I think so - everyone ditches them... Some day someone who wants a nice of us-spec bike will have trouble finding them.

I like the tractor light. It's original to the US, and I prefer a metal part to a plastic injection molded part any day.

It is NOW. They are VERY hard to find in good shape. I just listed my last few NOS ones on ScootNet. They sold out immediately and I could have sold another 6 or 8 of them. One of our local members got to me ONE day too late & hopefully I can find a few more from Greece this winter. If YOU want one, let me know and I'll sell here before I list on ScootNet.

Those tail lights were used on lots of italian bikes and those sources have dried up as well.

sold out

These guys still have them $125 (AUD)

125 dollars, OUCH! So did you know that in at least one case this light appeared on the COSA?
It was the 'Budget' edition




ANYWAY, back on topic. Don't you think that's a lovely P that I posted, great price & apparent condition? AND it includes the coveted US tail lite for no extra charge. Somebody please BUY it & remove the temptation.

s50 and s65 both for $850. Not sure if thats a deal on non running bikes, but could be fun projects.

I'm having a slight conflict about the tractor light. I'm going to paint my bike, and haven't yet decided on whether to weld up the holes, or keep the CEV light.

The new ones (especially the chrome 2011 style) are nice looking, paired with the Prima wrap around rack, but the tractor light and bbq racks are original, and increasingly rare.

generally, when you buy a bike, you really want one with the tractor light, because that means no scooterist has molested it.
