I am selling old Vespa interested ?

As a 48-year-old Italian man, in my day ALL the boys had a vespa, nobody used scooters. :) And in those days we were young enthusiasts, so we dismantled them, elaborated them, repaired them, experimented… I always had grease on my hands and I was always in there disassembling carburettors. The VESPA mechanics were so ingenious that they were disarmingly simple. A 16-year-old boy, with a little wit, could take it COMPLETELY apart. Never taken the vespa to a mechanic :D good old times. now they are seen less around but many guys are restoring them and putting them back on the road. It's a pleasure to see them go around on a vespa. At the time it was freedom, emancipation, when you had a vespa you were a free young man and you felt like an adult. It was an important step. Great nice restoration I'm happy you brought it back to life.

Я родом из полуострова Крым,у нас у всех были скутеры ,а если у кого был мопед Vespa то ты был крутой,мечта любого подростка моего поколения.Браво!

All my compliments to the restorer. With that Vespa I went from Bologna, Italy, to Agadir, Morocco, in the Seventies. Thirty-three hundred kilometres at 80km per hour. I had a jerrycan just between my legs because the main tank was ridicously small (3 litres or so). One of my best trips. I then did it again after a couple of years ad I reached Algeria through Morocco, where I sold the Vespa to get a boat to reach Naples.

So if you’re watching this as a tutorial, note the following: - never spray paint the alloy block. Just sandblast it. It gives a way better finish. - never reuse old bearings. It’s cheap to replace and easy to do. Also they tend to break down - never reuse seals

I had a vintage Vespa 150 that was a little earlier than yours. It was a lovely little scooter to ride around New Orleans. I gave it to my younger brother 37 years ago when his Harley Davidson Electra Glide was down. I was surprised when he rode it in front of his Harley circle of friends. My brother-in-law owned a Vespa P200 that I got to ride. That 200 had a lot of pep and was a fantastic Scooter! You did a very nice job restoring this Vespa. I would be proud to own it. Thanks for sharing!!

Well done sir, I have never seen so much bondo put on anythig in my life, but your fabricating of the fenders and bodywork worked real well, I would never paint the cooling fins on the head, they will hold in heat, but no harm i`m sure, your paint, bodywork ,and buffing skills were spot on, I didn`t see any grease going on any bearings, except the handlebar, but it sure is a beauty, it was made when I was born, a great watch.

Yup. This „restoration” is goong to rust. So much time wasted

Great video of a full restoration of a scooter. In the late 50’s and very early 60’s I rebuilt rather than restored Cushman scooters and Cushman Eagles. I remember doing 13 of them and most I bought were in cardboard boxes. I rebuilt them and made them road-safe but I didn’t “restore” them as you show. Back in the day, I even used a leather belt to make rod bearings!!! Worked great, which would be unheard of doing today! LOL. Thanks for the memories!

I was in my teens when I rebuilt those Cushmans. It seemed like back in that day parents bought little Johnny a Cushman scooter and the kid rode it until something caused it to not start. Dad’s would tear them down but either didn’t understand how to fix them or get parts so they seemed to fill a cardboard box with the broke-down scooter parts and store the box & frame in a corner of a barn or shed. The nearest Cushman parts dealer was 25 miles away and many the day I made that trip by hitchhiking to get a part. I can’t imagine a 13 year-old kid doing that in today’s world! I knew an elderly couple that once he retired bought a new Cushman Eagle with two seats and a windshield and toured the country on it like most folks do with a motorcycle!

Masterpiece.I cant stop watching the way he works

Wow tyres stayed pump with air 60 years.❤ I owned the lambretta 150 LI twin saddles back in 1973, these old bikes are a legend ❤❤❤

Lovely to see this old Vespa getting some TLC. Struggled to watch the spray painting (lacked some solid, basic techniques) but the finish looked good. Great project really well presented.

That poor little Vespa was left in rust and scraps. But I think she was still able to run. Certain things came to life when you put part of your soul in them.

Beautiful restoration, my compliments! Greetings from USA!

I always find it amazing just how easily the bolts come undone on these rusty old machines. Also by painting everything you've made it look like a toy, only paint the body the rest should be taken down to the bare metal polished and lacquered for a more durable and professional finish.

I disassembled a 1964 Lambretta Silver Special. Unlike the Vespa, the lambretta includes panels bolted onto a tube frame. Once it was disassembled, I actually fit the whole thing in a 2004 2-door mini cooper. No joke.
