Hello Chaps.

I am restoring a 152L2. I am trying to work out what year it was manufactured. I am hoping its a 1959, so i can avoid the pesky MOT :D
The problem is, is that the frame and engine numbers start with the letteres 'HA'. Is there a database in the net with the years for these type of vespa? The only info i can find are on the ones that start with a 'V.....', then a number.

P.S. i have snapped the aluminium frame tag when removing it before shot blasting. Can i get one of these remade?

Possibly a Douglas issued frame number.
I am not sure there is much info on specific dates.
Alloy tag is easy to make and stamp yourself.

I was told the Gran Sport in Brum have some original vespa stamps for making plates up, is this true?
