Can you enlighten us on the bad points of this one. It says it was restored at a ship in the US.

Looking at buying wife her first Vespa. Bodge or not?
Current seller says the previous seller restored, but doesn't know much. It is local so I can go check it out. Your help is greatly appreciated.

EDIT: didn't mean to be glib. I see at least 3 bikes smooshed together here. sprint - cowls and fender vbb - badge and headset? super? sprint? - front of frame early vna/vnb - rear of frame That's an interesting place for the choke knob. I can't tell if the rims are 8" or 10". Don't let anyone you love ride this. |

Cool little scoot.
Would a 50 Special have the same headset as a 100 Sport? And where are the blinkers? |

Hello. Been a lurker on here for a while.
Saw this on the interweb and wondered what the possibility of it being a possible purchase, or avoid at all costs... Thank you for your input and knowledge. https://memphis.craigslist.org/mcy/d/1956-vespa-vl3-150cc/6458247379.html ![]() |

Looks like someone is trying to de-bodge the scoot. Super with a 10" wheel?

Normally, they replaced with new cheap stuff. |

Looks like a mix of parts. Even the last T5 (Millennium) was totally different. I wouldn't say it's a bodge, but it's certainly not original...
