Vintage scooter wanted

[Ian and Cath]

I'm after an old vespa/ lambretta. Any condition as I'm looking for a winter project. It's a long shot I know but thought I'd ask.

 

[Fazerloz]

Price range.?????

Facebook maybe? Couple of options there.

A few on Ebay also.

This is the least interesting bike in next weeks auction at Anglia auctions, they have some real doer-uppers

 

[Ian and Cath]

Looking for a fixer upper but for a half decent one I'm hoping to keep it below 2k

 

[Ian and Cath]

Just checked out some of your suggestions (thanks everyone) Never thought scooters were worth so much. Maybe rethink the budget.

 

[izwozral]

Just had a quick look on Ebay, there are definitely some sub £2k and a few that are slightly more.
Happy hunting.

There are a lot on Facebook marketplace, but there doesn’t seem to be much difference in price between a fully restored one to a un restored one,
I guess this is something to do with that at the moment patina seems to be the in thing.

That depends on if you are buying or selling.
Selling, its patina
Buying, it’s rust

Wobbly unsafe bits of junk, buy a real bike.

Hi Ian, I have messaged an old student of mine who lives not far from me, for his permission for me to share his phone number with you. He is a massive scooter fan and a member of an Edinburgh scooter club. I'll ping you a PM when I hear back from him.

 

[runnach]

PM sent.

Saw this opportunity at a vide Grenier in Binic sur mer.
Shouldn't cost too much!

 

[guerdeval]

Sorry, no one said you wanted “patina”

More like dreamers and chancers waiting for the right mug to come along.

Seems to be the same with lots of stuff I see on FB marketplace, the vast majority of which seems to be way overpriced by the ever hopeful owners (and 95% of what's advertised is pure tat!).
