This is my latest scoot , i bought it as a barn find , it had been stood for years in madrid so allthough needing work the body is as solid with no rust worm holes , i love the spanish series 2 (eibar) as it has the turning front mudguard like a vespa .the original engine was past it but my mate had a 200cc block ready to pop in so happy days , cosmeticly i wanted to keep it as is , cant see the point of taking all the character and patina that makes it what it is away , its a 1963 scoot and its battered , scratched dinged , all the stuff you cant fake so to make it look new and like many other scoots are seemed wrong.
Ive had all the important stuff changed , cables , brakes , fork springs so it stops and rides great but keeping it cosmetically as it is. I got the side panels sign written by phil appleyard in middleton who id recommend for any stuff you have planned , ( its an old shop advert for my dads joinery shop , hes passed away so a bit of a tribute )
I love the sound of a two stroke and ive got a small frame vespa hidden away , that will get a pk 125 block in it when i can find one , cheers for the comments .
