1959 Vespa VBA

The scooter was stripped back to a bare frame. With the frame and panels sand blasted a small amount of welding and repair work was carried out before being painted in 2 tone orange with a gold pearl.

The vintage Vespa was then reassembled using new bearings, cables, wiring, brake parts and a later 125cc engine with 4 speed gearbox. The transformation was then completed with 10″ alloy rims.
