Hi, my name is Tom. I came across your blog while looking for information to help in my restoration of a 1953 125U Allstate Vespa. Mine looks identical to yours, except you are way ahead of me in the process. It was a delight to review your entries and see the progress. Love the color!! Mine will be the same.
Hello from Serbia!!!
My name is Dino and My story is identical as Tom said!
Just started restoration, all new in this kind of job but happy as a kid! I am missing complete hadlebar and uper part of holder! Hope to find it for normal price.
I will watch all your new entries, and hope it will end just perfect!
Yes mine will be in the same collor too!!!
If you have any sparte parts please contact me on dinozivkovic@gmail.com
What's the latest? I've got a '65 Allstate that's getting an engine rebuild this Winter.
