Thats the truth matey, well said.

And like i say...no fault of the seller...good luck to him....just surprised that bidders are scrambling to pay so much for it?

i agreee 100% with you, but theres some that attach a massive significance to numbers or extra bits of metal that are on the frame :roll: they will try and extol all the virtues of anything italian , there is nothing wrong with this in isolation but at the denigration off all others is what drives up the cost of all scooters and parts of that origin,
this ruins scootering and especially that off lambrettas which used to be an affordable hobby :!:

frames are definately in short supply, however £580 does seem an awful lot for an Indian frame with a V5, i would want all the body work and forks included at least

It may be J reg but it will still say 1978 on the logbook, and it won't be tax exempt.
