The 1956 Vespa GS is alive!

The red 1956 Vespa GS 150 (VS2) is no longer - red. The original silvermetallic paint is back, sort of. Unfortunately so is the filler applied by the former owner who choose to paint it red. Call me conservative if you like!
Unfortunately some filler on the side cowls and front shield spoils the work. Otherwise the original paint looks okay if you go for that worn and original look.
Maybe it will become some sort of "rat scoot"? I think red wheels looks pretty cool.

A red Vespa Gran Sport? No, thanks...

The paint stripper is beginning to work on the red, and orange...

Goey! Messy!

Half there?

Filler and no paint at all...

Was this really such a good idea?

Hey, the wheels are red! Whaddaya mean by that?

Vespa GS 1956 discovered

 

This 1956 Vespa GS 150 (VS2T) was recently discovered here in Sweden. A youngster, sort of, bought it some ten years ago from an older gentleman. The latter is responsible of the badly applied red paint

The new owner will carefully try to the remove the red paint to save the original silver-grey all 150 GS's were painted in.

All the bits are there, except the speedo.
