Got this today, a 1955 42L2, as far as I know.
"Palla Saccheggiare" will be it`s name :D
It`s had a lot of welding done to the leggies and floor but seems solid enough.
It`s too good to restore so a lovely rusteration will be done with an ET4 front end, if it`ll go in and a 208 Polini engine :twisted:
Missing a few bits if anyone can help out:
Carb door
Side panel door
Tank
Handlebar/headset
the rustier the better of course

if you don't find rusty parts... we'll get really nice and high quality replicas (for the side panel doors etc.) in a couple of weeks. to complete the polini-engine-upgrade, you could also use this handlebar http://www.sip-scootershop.com/DE/Produ ... +5457.aspx with a decent koso-speedo...

:D :D :D It would be the latter two-balled variety, what`s the translation then or the italian slang for it would be better? :lol:

Been snooping on t`net and discovered it is actually a 92L2, the reg puts it between 58-59.Anyone know where the chassis number is on these old babies?
