Yes! I have acquired a tin toy Vespa from Bandai. It arrived with the post today.
According to the book "Vespa Forever" by Robin Davy it's from about 1957. The colours where silver, red, white and - green!
Mine has been played with, one hubcap is missing and there is some surface rust. The steering column has only one tab instead of three fixating it to the front wheel and fender. The handlebar is a little bit broken. But I don't care, I'm still happy over it!
I have this exact Vespa sitting on my living room mantel. This is the first time I have researched in on the computer.I use to play with it and my Barbie dolls. Thanks for sharing yours!
