Made in Vietnam actually ha ha... thats Saigon you are looking at in the Video manic as it is.
There are good engineers here too actually you just go know where to find them. The good ones have all the latest CNC equipment and their issue is not doing the work its the ideas. I am from New Zealand and been living here for 10 years so know my way around and who to use and who not to. I am not in the scooter business just enjoy to ride them and build bikes. I have been collecting and engineering the parts to build this for the last 3 years and it all started with the rear tyre that i brought in Germany when i was at eurolam that year to the surprise to my friends ha ha

Here are a few closer pic's and you can see the quality of the work. If you look closely almost no part of the scoot has not had some work done to it...

The only downside to this scoot is its not in this country so we can see it in the flesh.
The engineering looks top notch. Also love that mural on the front mudguard.
Now this would look great as a Scootering centre spread rather than some old duffers doing a gymkana!

Wouldn't make any difference Nick it would still get slung at the back to make way for some boring black and white vintage pic

totally agree, no offence to the old folks but i don't know anyone interested in all that pish, how many oaps buy the mag? and if they do i bet they would rather see a nice hottie on a nice hot scoot :lol:

You say local engineers have cnc machines any idea what it would cost to get a set of vespa P200 casings made ?
I've enquired to a few over here but mega money being asked.
I'm sure if they were cheap enough few lads on here would buy a few sets as it would put an end to cracked casings


Cheers

Love the way you haven't compromised on anything, fookin' fantastic. Almost worth a plane ticket to see it (and bring an ss90 back in a big suitcase :D )
