1971 Vespa Sprint (VLB1)

Bought two Vespa 150 Sprint's of a nice guy called Ronald in Bandung before I moved to Indonesia, good price, good paint and rebuild.
The 1971 is the Cream colour - but not for long because I kept having visions of my old friend Darren's (aka Taff) Eddy Grimstead SS200 Hurricane....

OK, so we all knew the P range tool box and mudguard moulding had to go!

 

















Basically I opted for black, an SS180 has a removable left hand side panel, so the tool box door had to be filled and then the attachements to the panel and frame have to be welded. Luckily I know a man that knows a man...
