Look at this damn thing. I took a double take at first then realized what it really is. It's a bodge with "patina".

Btw, the p200e turned out to be too big for me. I'm a 5'1 petite female and couldn't reach the ground. So I'm moving on to who knows what exactly. The Super has been recommended and also a small frame.

They imported a lot from 1974-77, but not many prior. Original color, run in sticker, suicide levers, grey cowl rubber and grips, period (US market?) taillight that was also on 180ss, badges. From the photos, it looks very original. If it's not, it was a careful factory-style restoration. It's in great shape. Given the plate, I'd be willing to bet it's original. |

Thanks, hjo! Figured you'd know. I saw pics of the restoration of the gray P you did a while back. Really amazing!

My uncle took this picture at his work and tagged me in it on Facebook. Oh boy the ignorance that people express when it comes to a old looking bike with a pretty paint job.... He said "Megan what is this?" My response was a terrible bike and I hope that they are taking it to the dump. I don't think he was expecting that answer, but I would have hoped that if he knew those people were shopping for a Vespa that he would have told them to contact me before throwing their money away on that garbage. I mean this girl loves PINK.... but I hate this pink bike with a passion and I don't even know who owns it.

"--Uses a footbrake, hand brake is not fixable (they no longer make the parts).... sounds like seller is in on an un-fixable problem on a shitty bodge. It's about to torn a part.
