Very nice John  I did a pressure test of the engine today just out of curiosity. To say I'm highly happy with the results is an understatement ;D From front to back. 1) 200psi 2) 200psi 3) 197psi 4) 195psi 5) 200psi 6) 197psi That's virtually like a new engine |

Just a pic to show you that mine are now just as they were originally as I have had a few comments saying they were never that colour originally. This is from a very low mileage garaged all it's life E320.  And mine B) I'm so happy I found that picture as I had been doubting my choice of colour but am now so happy I got it spot on  B) |

No pictures unfortunately, just some info.
My neighbour lost control of his 80's Vespa the first time he rode it and slammed into the side of my car !! That was a god send as whilst it was at the bodyshop I had all the rust issues in all four arches sorted out along with many other rust issues. Sadly the cost of repairs didn't stretch to painting the roof which has a nasty rust spot right in the middle. Must be due to bird curse word. So that is next on the list.
Running wise, I have re-soldered the OVP relay which has cured many running problems including cutting out issues. I have also replaced the battery which has cured all the many electrical problems I have been suffering over the years !!!

Just found this thread. It looks like a nice example of the breed. Do you still have it? I've tried to get myself one of these a couple of times but still haven't managed it. Some day.
