What is the model and CC's? We might be able to ball park the age that way, but it won't be exact.

Will you be able to register it without any documents? If so, you will also need to get a new ignition lock.

a quick google search of 'motovespa' turns up a large number of spanish-built vespas, none of them modern (i.e automatic). is yours a manual transmission scooter? if it is, you may be better off posing your question in the 'not so modern' subforum.

i have also been googling and have found out that motovespa did not make a 125, or 150, so we know believe it to be a motovespa p200 dn. these range from 1979 to 80s
