We just picked this up today and it's got to be the earliest vespa
I have ever seen in person. It has Aluminum cowls, front fender and horn cast is aluminum also. Wierd stuff, like the brake pedal and the engine shock. Im hoping there is somebody out there that can tell us more about the bike. It looks like it had the earlier allstate badge?
since there is no holes in the legshield for the common badge.

What style! That's what I call patina. Forget about painting that!

Thats a cool scoot, but I hate to try and find parts for it. It's only a year younger than me.
