A good friend have been hooked on clay. It started with a moped and now he has made this Vespa. I hope there also will be a Lambretta later. Happy Easter! </div>

I've just purchased three lovely and genuine Vespa posters from the 1960's. They're from an old scooter/bicycle shop in the south of Sweden. The size is approximately 70 cm x 100 cm so they make quite an impact.<br />
One of the girls seems to be sitting on a Vespa with a narrower front shield. An 50 SS or a 90 SS? <br />

Here is a nice and original parts and accessories catalogue for the 1953 Vespa 125 U (Utilitaria). The registration number of the Swedish sold 125 U is scribbled on page three along with the telephone number to importer. Take notice that it is to the company "Fram-King" who were importers during the 1960's. So I guess this catalogue was passed on from the original owner to some of the next ones. Or, as the first owner had a brand new scooter he maybe didn't need a parts catalogue?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Nevertheless an interesting item of Vespa's history!</div>

This picture was taken at the 2014 Imola mostra e scambio (show and fair). It has become a tradition to walk by this seller displaying his Vespa 125 Utilitaria from 1953. Restored but the colour feels a bit "minty". Or is it the camera or the computer?<br />
This seller has repro items for 125 U, side cowls, petrol tank. Leftovers from the restoration maybe.</div>

A good friend sent me the picture above. "I've found this Vespa while walking my dog in the forest" he told me. "But it's in very bad condition" he added. I of course told him that I wanted to pick it up and his response was "why?", the natural question from any sane person.<br />
I was also tpld that it was stuck in the ground, due to frost. Anyhow I wanted to establish what model it is so we went to check. The initial guess was that it was a faro basso, a 125, but then a <a href="http://scuderiavespasvedese.blogspot.se/2014/04/im-back-on-new-vespa.html">VGL or VGLA</a> seemed most likely. The latter being to most common 50´s and 60's Vespa in Sweden.<br />
Examining the Vespa I discovered some of the metallic blue paint typical for the Vespa Touring.<br />
It has been stuck in the ground for 20-30 years is my guess. No engine but the swing with part of the brake drum is still there, and the stand. There is the remains of a house ground nearby, maybe it was "parked" by the house owners. Otherwise it would have been nicked a long time ago when it was in better shape.<br />
I will dig it out, could be a nice garden statue!<br />

I managed to buy the Vespa "Struzzo" that was up for sale, in Sweden they we're sold under the moniker "Super". I thought we only got the VL3 to Sweden but this is actually a VL2, produced in 1955. The seller had started some "restoration", sand blasting and then applying grey primer. I'm not entirely happy with that.<br />
Next step is to trace it's registration. Then we'll see...<br />

This is a promotion picture from Piaggio. It looks like a Vespa 150 (VL1-3) but with another colour then standard light grey. Is it an Acma from France? The yellow headlight might indicate that.</div>

This Vespa VL3 from 1955-1956 is for sale and I have an opportunity to buy it. It's registration has expired. The VL3-model was sold here in Sweden next to the Vespa 125 (faro basso) and Vespa GS. The earlier VL1-VL2 was never sold in Sweden. VL3 has the 150 cc/6 hp engine and 8-inch wheels. "Struzzo" is the italian nickname and it translates to "ostrich" for obvious reasons. </div>

An Italian moment last summer. A cup of espresso, doppio, and the view over my 1963 Vespa GS 160, series 1. With the a custom seat, re-upholstered after a Vespa accessory-seat from the mid-sixties. The tail light is from a scooter-moped, a 50 cc Italian <a href="http://scuderiavespasvedese.blogspot.se/2012/02/tail-light-from-vispetta.html">Vispetta</a>.</div>

The German scooters were not beautiful, but plentiful. This is a Walba De Luxe, 1949-1952. With Ilo 118 cc engine. Built with Flash Gordon in mind?<br />
Walba was the brainchild of father and son, Waldemar and Alexander Balbaschewski.<br />
I got the photo from the guy sitting on one above. Later it became some sort of agricultural device. Long gone...<br />

This Service station manual for Vespa 125 cc, the "Roman Vacanzes", is from 1951. It was given to me by it's original owner who had just such a Vespa, bought as new. Long gone by now...<br />
The manual is very extensive, approximately 150 pages. All in English (sometimes in Italian!) but printed in Florence (Firenze).<br />
The Operation an maintenance is marked "5th edition. Dec 8 1951". Among the Accessories is a plexiglass windscreen mentioned. <br />

Somehow I was invited to show three of my Vespas at "The Hallwylska museet" in Stockholm. The palace was built in 1890's for Swedish nobility and was turned into a museum in 1930. Right now there is an exhibition called "12 cuckoo eggs", twelve collectors showing their stuff. Pez dispensers, cuckoo clocks, high couture shoes and bags, shaving devices, battered dolls, kinder eggs, IKEA-chairs and so on. Plus my Vespa GS 150, Vespa SS 180 and the Vespa Touring (VGLA). And the banner from the 1960 Eurovespa held together with the inauguration of the Roma Olympic Games.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Since the creator of the museum, Wilhelmina von Hallwyl also was a collector this location was choosed to show these modern collectors.</div>

Mustad Folkscooter, not Mustard or Mostardo, a scooter built in Gothenburg around 1952 ready to pick fight with Italians Vespa and Lambretta and Germans Goggo, Heinkel and Zündapp. With a 50 cc German Amo engine with 1,3 hp.<br />
Week and front heavy! Some say about 1 000 produced, I strongly doubt that figure.<br />
The Swedish word "Folkscooter" translates into "people's scooter". </div>

Some pics from the 2014 Mostra e scambio (Exhibition and fair) at the autodromo in Imola. One seller had lots of old speedos for Vespa and Lambretta. Standard and special ones from makers like Veglia, Rolle and Jaeger. Some other accessories as well, petrol gauges, mirrors and assorted bling-bling all New Old Stock. Everything at a price! Wonder if anything was under €200? <br />
Eye-candy at least...<br />

There is an exhibition at a museum here in Stockholm regarding collectors (or hoarders?).<br />
I was invited to show some of my Vespas and some other stuff. I have chosen my Vespa SS180, Vespa GS150 and the Vespa 150 Touring (VGLA). More pics later, this is from the museums garage waiting to be displayed. There is a 1914 Mercedes behind them.</div>

No less than two Vespa U, Utilitaria, emerged in South America during 2014. Or should I say one whole? The first is an engine that was found in Colombia, by chance in a small town by a Vespista.<br />
He then put it up for sale in an Argentinian forum - my correspondent in Buenos Aires tells me. But it was just the engine, with number 58**, about 1 200 numbers from the end of production in 1953. Only 6 000 Vespa 125 U was produced, starting with number 1 000 and ending on 7 000. <br />
The second, or half, 125 U was found approx six months ago in Argentina. Nice but only the body and it was bought by an italian collector.<br />

This is the lovely picture of the father of scooterist Darrell J Kent, UK, on his Lambretta TV 175, series 1. The banner on the front shield is from the local scooter club "Lowestoft Drifters Scooter Club". Sadly Darells father passed away too early and never saw his son become a scooterist. Been there myself, Darell, although my father never rode a scoot!<br />
Darrell says he'll sell his house if this Lambretta was still around and up for sale...</div>

Found this on the Internet, asked if I could publish but never heard anything. If the Italian owner is objecting to my publishing I will remove it.<br />
As I remember it he is the young guy in the picture visiting his grandfather and his Lambretta series 1, in the mid-sixties. According to the floor rails it's either a Li 150 or a 125. The TV 175 was and is rather scarce in Italy.<br />
The rope on the front shield is holding a hammer! A workhorse instead of a showpiece...<br />
There is also some stickers, saying "1000 luci" and "Tartaruga". The latter beeing italian for tortoise, well it wasn't that slow I hope. </div>

Here my three Vespa PX! Small one and made of plastic. Per i bambini, for the kids. Of any age?<br />
The big one is made by the italian firm Perego, still in business today and with contemporary Vespa models like GT.<br />
Mine is a PX200 for children 3-6 years, driven by a 12V battery located under the saddle. No, I haven't tried it yet.<br />
The small one on the saddle has no name of the manufacturer. Anyone who knows?<br />
The Pitti came with the original box. The same size, 1:6, as the smaller one but driven by small batteries in a box with a cord.<br />
Okay, they're no La Hotte S:t Nicholas, but still nice!<br />

This is my 1967 Vespa SS 180, bought in april 2013. After the purchase I mounted the tank and repaired the lamp housing with metallic glue, rewired it and changed the saddle. It started nicely but after a couple of starts the piston rings gave up. I ordered new ones and a Ken Cobbing-replica exhaust from SIP.<br />
A lot of other things happened, a Cosa, a VGL, and so on...<br />Now I'm giving it some tender loving care again. The piston rings are mounted and the compression is healthy again. I have also replaced the kick lever since the splines were worn.<br />
Looking forward to try it in better weather conditions!<br />
I will keep it as is. It has a lot of cool period stickers. It was sold new in Helsinki, the capital of Finland and later it went to Åland, the archipelago between Sweden and Finland.<br />
One of the cool stickers are from 1973 Pori Jazz Festival, where Keith Jarrett, Jukka Tolonen, Nanni Porres, Tasavallan Presidenti and more were among the performing artists that year.<br />

Earlier you only had to be 15 years old to drive 50 cc moped in Sweden. Nowadays it's compulsory to have a license that will set you back about €500!<br />These pictures are taken near our country house, practically no traffic at all.</div>

This is my recently bought Vespa V50N, according to Scooterhelp a 1967 model. Everything is there except the the front light housing and handlebar cover. It's body is actually straight and nice, the rust (ruggine) is only on the surface. </div>
