I'm picking it up this weekend, about 1,200 GBP in your currency (I'm in Canada).
It's my project for next winter. I'll post a pic next spring when it's done.
Not wanting to be too much of a dick about it, my last winters project was a S3 tv175 I paid about 1,000 GBP for. I'm going to register it this week. It was a very early scootrs import. The most shocking thing in there was the paper gasket under the endplate LoL. The rest of the issues was caused by years of hard riding with no maintenance here, then leaving it outside uncovered through a bunch of Canadian winters. Anyway, all the fuckery has been undone now.
The low prices are a reflection of the state
Of the scooter scene in Canada. The relatively small number of us that can do our own wrenching are getting older, have families, and dont have free time. If there is a young person interested in trying a vintage scooter, they have zero technical ability. We have one licensed mechanic that will work on a vintage vespa in a city of 4M, and none for lambretta. So no one wants to buy a project. A ready to drive Vespa P200 takes months to sell at 1,000 GBP and a project of any type doesn't sell. My winter project from 2 years ago was an Li150 I got for free.
The only exception is if it's a desirable model, the scooting community is selling to itself and people are buying the scooter they always wanted. A GS160 just sold for about 1200 GBP (I found it and passed it along to a friend).
I'd gladly pay more for these as the price of having a more vibrant local scooter scene.
