Scooterotica

Got this today, a 1955 42L2, as far as I know.
"Palla Saccheggiare" will be it`s name
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
Missing a few bits if anyone can help out:
Carb door
Side panel door
Tank
Handlebar/headset
the rustier the better of course

Hi mate,
it seems a very interesting project, I like old vespas with a street racer look!!

Just a question: what do you mean by "palla saccheggiare" ?

Actually, the translation of saccheggiare is: to ransack.

yes the translation of "palla saccheggiare" is: "ball to ransack"

Hmmm, well I tried an online translator and that`s what I got.If one of my more learned friends could give me the Italian for ballbag I would appreciate it

Palla sacchetto maybe

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...

Bofs it all depends from what do you mean by ballbag...

something like this?



or something like this?

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

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?
