Their are many rumours around regarding the import of poor Vespas from various parts of Europe andmany fromthe far east,Buyers should always ask the seller the following questions.
Was the Vespa Originally built in Italy, Spain, India ,Vespa had many factories building machines under Licence. Does the Machine has clear Chassis numbers.All Vespa scootersfrom Spainafter around 1957 have the frame number stamped into the frame notstampedonto separate Alloy plates like some Douglas machines.
Buyers shouldnever buy a Vespa(Or any vehicle for that matter)without CLEAR AND UNTAMPERED chassis or Frame numbers.Before bidding ask the seller for the ID of the machine.Many sellerswouldn t give the full number to avoidfraud but should give the majority of this numberto good genuinee buyers.
Is the Vespamodified from Standard did the machines always have 10 inch wheels and a 200 cc engine(Please note Vespa do not have Matching engine and frame Numbers).This can make registering Machines much harder if the original modelname prefix isdifficult to trace.
Always ask questions. Many people export Vespa without having the know how to do so correctly.Some ebayers dont even describe the item for sale correctly in regard to engine size or model
