AFTER RUNNING THE SERIAL NUMBERS IN THE PIAGGIO VESPA DATA BASE IT TELLS ME THAT THIS IS A 1962 MODEL.

HOW MANY ORIGINAL CLASSIC VINTAGE COLLECTABLE PIAGGIO VESPA'S WITH THESE ORIGINAL KILOMETERS/MILEAGE HAVE YOU SEEN AROUND STILL? WHEN BIDDING, PLEASE, TAKE ALL THIS TO CONSIDERATION, BECAUSE THE RESERVE SET ACCORDINGLY.I AM TRYING TO DESCRIBE AS THOROUGH AS POSSIBLE THIS VESPA, BUT FOR THE REST, I LET YOU TO BE THE JUDGE SINCE THERE ARE ABOUT 100 DETAILED PICTURES TAKEN WHERE YOU CAN SEE THE CONDITION YOURSELF. I ENCOURAGE YOU TO COME AND INSPECT THE VESPA, IF POSSIBLE, IN PERSON.UNFORTUNATELY EBAY DOES NOT ALLOW ANYMORE TO HAVE LINKS THAT WOULD CONNECT YOU DIRECTLY TO THE REST OF THE PHOTOS SO YOU WOULD NEED TO REQUEST VIA EMAIL A LINK AND I WILL SEND IT TO YOU. I HAVE ALSO A VIDEO TO BE SENT WHERE YOU CAN SEE AND HEAR THE VESPA RUNNING.THIS VESPA HAS BEEN OWNED BY 2 SEPARATE OLDER COUPLES IN IT'S WHOLE LIFE TIME IN CALIFORNIA. FIRST COUPLE BOUGHT IT NEW, AND HAD IT UNTIL SPRING 2014, THE SECOND COUPLE HAD IT FROM SPRING 2014 UNTIL NOW. THE REASON WHY IT HAS SUCH LOW KILOMETERS/MILEAGE IS BECAUSE THE LADIES WHO WANTED TO DRIVE THE VESPA AROUND IN BOTH OWNERSHIPS FELT IT WAS TOO BIG/HIGH FOR THEM TO DRIVE AND COULD'NT REACH THE INSTRUMENTS AND GROUND. IT HAS BEEN SITTING ALMOST ALL OF IT'S LIFETIME IN THE GARAGE.IN ITS PRESENT CONDITION, THE SCOOTER IS IN EVERY-DAY DRIVING CONDITION. MECHANICALLY IT IS SOLID AND SOUND, EVERYTHING WORKS AS IT SHOULD. ALL THE PARTS IN THE VESPA ARE ORIGINAL AS IT CAME OUT OF FACTORY. THERE'S ONLY ONE EXCEPTION TO ORIGINALITY WHICH IS OF COURSE THE BATTERY SINCE WE ARE TALKING ABOUT 55 YEAR OLD VESPA. THOUGH IT IS NEW, IT IS JUST LIKE THE ORIGINAL 6V B39-6 BATTERY, WITH THE OLD LOOK. IT COMES WITH ALL THE KEYS (IGNITION, STEERING LOCK, SIDE COMPARTMENT). HAS AS WELL THE ORIGINAL TOOLS WITH POUCH AND THE ORIGINAL LICENSE PLATE FRAME. ALSO HAS THE FACTORY INSTALLED SPARE TIRE WITH THE COVER.THOUGH THE VESPA IS IN RUNNING CONDITION I WOULD RECOMMEND, IF YOU'RE PLANNING TO USE IT AS-IS, TO MAKE A SERVICE AND MAYBE NEEDED SMALL ADJUSTMENTS FOR FUEL SYSTEM, BECAUSE BEFORE MY START THIS WAS RUNNING LAST TIME OVER A YEAR AGO.THERE'S FEW THINGS THAT I NOTICED AND WOULD LIKE TO MENTION AS WELL AS POINT OUT:- THE FRONT WHEEL FENDER HAS A SMALL SCRATCH IN THE RIGHT FRONT CORNER (SEE THE PICTURE)- THE REAR ENGINE COVER HAS SMALL SCRATCHES IN THE TWO DIFFERENT SPOTS (SEE THE PICTURES)- THE FRONT WHEEL HAS SOME SURFACE RUST SPOTS ON IT (SEE THE PICTURES)- THE FRONT WHEEL SHOCK HAS SOME SURFACE RUST/PITTING ON IT (SEE THE PICTURE)- THE LEG STAND HAS PITTING ON IT (SEE THE PICTURE)I'M WAITING THE PREVIOUS OWNER TO FIND ALL THE POSSIBLE ORIGINAL DOCUMENTATION THAT CAME WITH THE VESPA. UNFORTUNATELY, AS BEEN OLDER, SHE DOESN'T EXACTLY REMEMBER WHERE TO LOOK FOR IT AND RIGHT NOW SHE'S ALSO ON VACATION OUT OF THE COUNTRY STILL ANOTHER TWO WEEKS. THE VESPA IS SOLD AS-IS, WITH NO WARRANTY EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED.FOR BUYERS A $1000 NON-REFUNDABLE DEPOSIT IS REQUIRED THROUGH PAYPAL WITHIN 1 DAY OF THE AUCTION'S END AND THE REMAINING BALANCE TO BE PAID WITHIN 7 DAYS OF THE AUCTION'S END.
