I was going to say that ;)
Stunning scooter. You could put a Vespa 50 engine in it and it would still be one of the coolest scooters about.

It's that design and paintwork that started my obsession with GP's to the point where I've sold my 65 Italian ( as if the country of origin is relevant :lol: ) for a 1976 Indian GP 200 and I will be replacing the Innocenti front badge for a SIL one :mrgreen:

When i first saw this thread and looked at the frame and panels.. i thought God that's Fookin awful... :oops:

Now its finished it really is a nice contrast 8-) Just goes to show only a fool knocks a unfinished job!`

Great job.
Better to keep quiet and be thought of as a D!ck Head, than to open your mouth and remove all doubt.
