description

Reluctantly selling my 1975 Vespa Douglas. I purchased the bike in 2022 as a newly restored vehicle - the description below is what was on the original listing. I had it serviced when I first purchased it and had a few bits done for it to ride better. The engine has been reduced to 125cc.
It really is a beautiful vehicle and runs perfectly. I only rode it for a year before my insurance ran out and then my CBT expired.

Unfortunately the seat has weather damage - still fine but the leather has faded etc (even after being under a cover) also the clip to the lid of the petrol tank has broken so a temporary tank plug is in place and has no impact on how the scooter runs.
