Didn't even notice you were gone.

Welcome back anyway Bazz.  [thumbsup]

thanks super but isnt your tongue getting sore [laugh] that gross [cheeky]

 [laugh]

It's getting rough, dry and chafed.  :-\

hang in there bazz just getting info for you

Well Bazz,

This is a english motor and there is no letters in the engine number because of this. The number are not consecutive numbers they are just a bit about the place. The model is likely to be a 42L2. the engine cover is call a engine cowl and they are no longer made, so you might have to do a ebay thing. by doing this use the model number i have already given you. Can you confirm with me whether the Lucas headlight is on the ledshield or on the handle bars. let me know asap as i might be able to find you a engine cowl. If you have any picture of the vespa please post them.

cheer Jukie

the head lamp is on the bars  thanks jukie  no pic its in bits but i did find some on the web  cheers bazz

Hey Bazz,

got some more info

The engine side cover should be the same as on a  VL1T, VB1T.
Talk to Brenton at GPS in Melbourne  03 9415 6117 . He might be able to track down a side cover.

this is the vespa that my brother restored

Hey Jukie that vespa looks shmmmmik i had some good times on one just like that touring the island of Sicily years back, Ahh them were the days.
Always wanted to owen one since but could never justify the cost for restored one. [thumbsup]
