A good friend had one of his collection of Scooters stolen , be grateful if you could keep an eye out,
his post below
Last Wednesday night / Thursday morning my garage in North London was broken into and the b@stards stole an exceptionally rare vintage motorcycle. The bike in question is a 1961 Cezeta 502-00 scooter, one of less than a handful in the UK and certainly the best one in Europe, if not the world. I commenced the restoration project in 2000 and it took five years of blood, sweat, tear, love, devotion and resources to get it to better-than new condition. Now it's gone...with only 330 km on the clock.
Check out some photos of this unique little motorcycle here
The scooter won the "Best European Bike On Show" award at the 7th "Classic Bike Guide" International Classic Motorcycle Show at Knebworth House in 2006 and has featured in a number of magazine articles, one of which you will find HERE.
OK...and now for the real bummer. Not only did they steal it, but in the process they scraped the bike on a concrete pillar as they manoeuvred it out of its parking spot, and also damaged my 328 GTS in the process! After all that, I have no idea what the thieves are going to do with the motorcycle, as it is so rare. There can't be more than half a dozen Cezeta's in the country, and it would be very conspicuous if it came on the market. The thieves are not going to be able to move it in this country or abroad.
So this is a plea to all of you, to those of you who trawl the used vehicle press and websites and to those of you who move in biking circles to PLEASE keep a look out for this unique and distinctive piece of automotive history.
Thanks
