This looks like a really good one to me. A GS 160 for sale in Central California, just a mere four hours from me. I'm sorely tempted. You can take a look, here on Ebay.. This just has the right kind of patina in spades. It checks all the right boxes. I'm guessing that it will ultimately sell in the $4-5k range. We'll see...

There are a lot of dubiously restored scooters on the web, but it is nice to see a good honest survivor for a change. You can find this Vespa 150 VBA here on Ebay.. It looks like a typical East Coast scooter, ridden for decades, and then pushed to the back of the garage. I'm not sure if the crash bars are saveable, but I'd probably try. I dig this scooter!

Here is a straight throwback to the 1980's, a Vespa T5!  You can find it for sale on Ebay right now. This thing is dressed up with a ton of 80's accessories.  Sure they look bad, but didn't most 80's fashion?  Underneath, the motor on the T5 is tasty, and the upgrades listed inside make sure this scooter will be quick.  Sure it looks square and garish, but it does perfectly encapsulate the era.  I would totally ride it!

Here is a very rare item, a Lambretta LD clock. Take a look at it here on ebay. These came only on the first series of LD's that had exposed handlebars. Those models had a very small glovebox on the legshields that held a speedometer on one side, and a spot for a clock on the other side. Most people did not opt for the clock option. It has been years since I have seen one of these for sale. I wonder if it will sell!
