I have a chance to buy a 1961(or 1962) Vespa buried in some old ladies
shed a few miles away from my house. Met the owner's son (HD guy) one
day riding the Eldo and got to BS'ing. He said the scooter was all
that's left of his dead father's vintage collection of bikes. He says
everything was rebuilt, and the body primered, before it's storage
almost 20 years ago! The wife (mine)is looking for an Italian ride too,
and this may be the ticket. Are Vespas easy to wrench, and parts readily
available? Fully restored Vespas are bring in $3-4K. Sounds like it's
ready for paint. I'll be checking it out tomorrow, any input is much
appreciated.
