Summary

A ground-up 2021 restoration of one of the last true classic-bodied Vespas before the PX facelift. Finished in period-correct Verde Chiaro with a fresh wiring harness throughout.

Highlights

  • Full mechanical and cosmetic restoration completed 2021
  • Period-correct Verde Chiaro repaint, original color code verified
  • Rebuilt 198cc engine with fresh gaskets and seals
  • New wiring harness, Faco-style seat, and Continental tires

Equipment & Modifications

Stock configuration throughout — no modifications from factory specification. Aftermarket Faco seat cover installed during restoration (period-appropriate style).

Known Flaws

Minor touch-up visible on the left rear fender from a low-speed parking lot tip-over post-restoration. Speedometer cable has a slight tick above 40mph.

Service & Restoration History

Full engine rebuild, repaint, and rewire documented with photos (2021). Oil changed and carburetor serviced each spring since.

Seller Notes

Owned since the restoration was completed — selling only because I'm relocating overseas. Runs and shifts beautifully, starts on the first or second kick every time.

Does the engine number match the frame number stamped on the headset? Would love to see a photo of both if possible.

Yes, they match — I'll add a close-up photo of the stamping to the gallery this week. Happy to send more in the meantime.
