Just bought this little beauty.
Built in 1951 believed to be the oldest road registered Vespa Rod model.
Not perfect and a few bits need to be done to get it to A1 condition....but very happy owner :lol:

Beautiful Rui, but first job is to change that kickstart rubber for a black one. What was the owner thinking??
