Modern Vespa

Gosh so 3 miles a year is not realistic?

Fortunately someone is posting this along side --

$7000?!!
First clue...

P series floor mat
Chrome gas cap
Chrome collar
Piaggio branded chrome accessories
Glove box
Chrome legshield trim continues instead of outer floor rail
Unbranded speedo
Chrome package tray
Ignition switch above fuel lever
Rubber seal on glovebox cowl lid
Unusually low miles
Imported from Vietnam[/quote]

Hi, can anyone help with this?:
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/261506744058

Thanks in advance.

Location
Ho Chi Minh, SaiGon, Vietnam = enough said

If they built scooters as well as they paint, they'd be fantastic.
Btw... is the whole of Vietnam paved with those zig-zaggy pavers?

Thanks for the replies. But what about all the positive feedback he has? Or is that not relevant, are all the Vietnamese restorations bodges?

Bodgier than a Bodged up Bodge.

Should not have both legshield & side panel glove boxes
Vietnamese license plate frame
shitty chrome muffler
un-mentioned 10" conversion
No gear markings on the shifter/headset
Front wheel too high up when on the kickstand
Wrong mudguard
Excess bling

Probably welded together two different frames front & back.

Run, don't walk away from this one.

Haha ok, thanks

What about this one? (last one):

Thanks again

After reading the first line of what they say they do.......

Either that's some serious overspray on the centerstand or they ran out of the special "two component paint and lacker".

Ha where to start

How about here? So that's almost, apart from... just about everything.

I'd give those a close look . possibly

Does this Lambretta look like a bodge? The chrome work is understated but the glove box concerns me. Are there legit Lamis with glove boxes?

Always suspicious of the friend disclaimer. Not done up like a polished turd but, definitely iffy

This is a Classical Wheels scooter. If someone held a gun to my head and forced me to buy a Nammer, I would choose Classical Wheels.

Assuming it's bodge-a-licious.
Obviously earlier that a 1966, but is it pieced together?

Yep, that is a hodge-podge of various whatevers. The handlebars are actually from a bicycle. The shifter is turned around backwards (instead of 1-N-2-3-4 it is 4-3-2-N-1).

Sure explains why the Coach brand is in the shitter and they are closing all their stores and their stock about to be removed from the stock exchange. Their market was destroyed by knock-off and they are using a knock-off to sell their shit. What a bunch of morons.

Mmmmm, bodgy: http://sfbay.craigslist.org/sfc/mcy/4556523850.html

Ohhh, you need a motorcycle license to ride a Vespa? Shucks, I guess I'll just sell this thing then.

I wish you could comment on Craigslist ads. I hate the thought of unsuspecting newbs getting screwed by these.

Bodge? Dude wants pennies for it.

Not sure why you would call it a bodge. Other than it's age, I don't see the tell-tale shiny chromey blingy stuff.

I can't tell if something's not right about fenders/cowls/glovebox, but when you see something that appears to have been run and used and slightly dirty and dinged up, it usually appears to be an honest old scooter.

Then again.... I could be wrong.

I'd pay penies for it.. for sure. even up to like 10,000 of them.

I am unfamiliar with models so I would say the glove box is the raisin I asked.

Maybe a Rally with a P motor . I say that because the kickstart .

The fender looks odd... Is it a p fender?

Otherwise it just looks like a beater to me...

rally fender.. looks like a rally w/ some kind of P-esque motor..

Euro Market (big headlight) Rally with stock glove box and a p lump. Cool rat bike if it's cheap enough.

Those are hideous...

Owww my eyes...

We get your point, but he is including a G-Max helmet with the scooter, so it's obviously a good deal at $3K . . .

The horrible Coach ad bodge is back.

So when reporting a bodge on Ebay to blow up the listing, which tree of responses gets it taken down?

I'm thinking
"Copyright and Trademark" -> "Counterfeit item or autheticity disclaimer" -> "Counterfeit, fake or replica items"

Bodge with a sidecar? Possible? $3000

Probably. Chrome trim around cowl glovebox door, chrome pillion seat base, P glovebox and center floormat, chrome center floormat trim, seats are definitely Asian, two glove boxes

Probably. Hard to tell for sure from such terrible pictures. Still...seats, chrome gas tank, glovebox, 10" conversion, headset looks off and the proportions of the frame just seem....off.

Maybe the sidecar is holding the two halves of the welded-together frame pieces together

Actually the center floor mat looks correct, but that's about it.
