Hi,

Sorry I haven't replied for a day or so, I haven't turned my laptop on for a little while.

Anyway, as I said in my original post. The Vespa was restored by a friends brother in-law who is really into rerstoring stuff. He's done 2 classic 911's and coutless MK1/MK2 golfs. The price is kind of low because he knows me but if I don't buy I'll let you know the details via a PM. It might be a couple of weeks untill I actually go and see, so please bare with me.

The mini sounds like a good buy, is a manual conversion planned?

Luke.

Well personally if I had other minis that were manual I would prob keep the auto as an auto. Original cars are rare enough so would be a shame to make it more rare.

Have you uploaded any pics of it yet?

Right I have been sent this picture via mobile phone so the quality isn't great.

Posted Image

I will be arranging to view the bike when I return from holiday 3rd week of september and I hope to get more info/pictures.

Thoughts/comments?

Cheers,

Luke.
