AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
I am selling a 1979 Vespa—which is in a very original condition
As far as I can tell, it still has its original paint. I purchased it from an estate, so I have no further information beyond what I have shared here. It has a few faults, but nothing serious.
It had been sitting in a garage for a long time when I bought it. I wanted to get it back into working order, so I replaced some parts to get it running again after its long period of inactivity
Parts that have been replaced or modified: The fuel tank has been cleaned, and the fuel lines and fuel petcock have been replaced with new ones
The carburetor has been ultrasonically cleaned. The Femsatronic unit has been replaced with a new one. ( also have old one ) The spark plug and ignition wire have been replaced with new ones
The charging coil and pickup have been replaced with new ones. The taillight and the rubber components for the kickstand have been replaced. Someone had either replaced the rims or painted them orange; they have since been repainted to their original color
There remains a very strange fault that I haven't been able to fix. The engine runs well, but it can suddenly cut out while driving. It feels like an electrical issue—which is why all these parts were replaced
Additionally, known faults include a non-functional brake light and speedometer
A small piece of plastic is also missing from the light switch. The tires are also old. The transmission, brakes, lights, and clutch work well—as does the engine—but this issue with it suddenly cutting out needs to be fixed. It also appears that one strap is missing from the seat. Scratches and age-related imperfections are visible in the photos. I would have liked to paint it, but I was advised against doing so and told to sell it as is. I’m not an enthusiast, which is why I’m selling it
However, this is a valuable original example that requires a bit of good care, and you will end up with a beautiful hobby vehicle.I also have a video if you’d like to see it in operation, but I wasn’t able to add it to the listing. I hope that you get the information you need from this description I have provided. I don’t know the exact shipping cost, but I will help the buyer find the most affordable option. Good luck with the auction.

However, providing a fully detailed analysis of the vehicle is extremely difficult, and close to impossible. To guide you, we ask our sellers to provide information about the vehicle’s condition. Please consider that most vehicles for sale are classic vehicles and they often already have a whole life behind them, meaning that even a condition 1 or 2 vehicle might need maintenance to be ready for the road.
