Let me introduce you my newest Vespa project called "AF Trialmaster 110". It based on two "historic" models of the Vespa 90 Super Sprint.
At first, I was inspired thru the Vespa advertisement spot called "Go Vespa"



And this was for me the indicator to start these project. During the days of thinking and collecting parts, Clemens - a friend of mine - told me about the Arthur Francis catalogue of 1967.

That circumstance causes a new way of planing this project, because the Trialmaster version the 90 SS was to cool not to build.
So I decided to use both of them and I had the "only" problem to bring them together. But that causes also a short story for me to have a "historic" background.

Thank you for your positive replays.
I tried to use parts from the right epoch. As they are NOS ball lever ends, NOS Ulma leg shield rim, NOS grips, NOS Goodyear nobby spare tire, the Lucas fog- and spotlights with the NOS vespa rubbers ( no Lambretta ones ) NOS waterslide decals and much more. To switch the lamps/lights, I took an NOS US primavera shifter with a ss180 switch.
The headlight rim is made on off from a NOS Primavera one.
Only the engine is not "historic". It based on a NOS case with a FALC 57/54 Mono. Malossi reed System with a 33 Keihin carburetor. The exhaust system is a on off system that ends in an original primavera silencer. ( to keep the original look )
