vintage vespa bought at auction

MOUNTAIN VESPA

Fri, Dec 16th, 2011 12:00:00 am

A 1975 Vespa from the University of Colorado with only 400 Miles on the clock.  Everything is original, grips, tyres, foot pedal runners etc so 400 miles could be right.  It has to be said that it is a little worse the wear for sitting in what must have been a snow drift for the last 30 years.  We bought this at an Auction just because it oozed cool (as well as oil, fuel and bits of rust) not really knowing where it would end up.   Started 2nd kick once we worked out how to turn it on and was ridden around all day, 72 Degrees and Sunny in Atlanta a week before Christmas!  It is now on the way to Melbourne.
