Vespa Smallframe

We were contacted by Sam who asked if we could carry out some work on her Vespa Smallframe. Sam has owned the Vespa for over 25 years and had taken it off the road to restore it.

The little Vespa had been through various workshops and mechanics but after a few years the work on the scooter seemed to have stalled.

We took the project on and after modifying the the exhaust so it would fit, fitting a new clutch, various control cables, fixing the brakes so they were operational, fitting a new steering lock, fabricating some mounts for the wheel trims as well as a host of other small jobs the Vespa was returned to Sam with a new MOT so she could enjoy riding it.
