HERE WE HAVE AN ORIGINAL BRITISH REGISTERED FROM NEW VESPA DOUGLAS SPORTIQUE. FIRST REGISTERED IN THE UK IN OCTOBER 1964. STILL ON ITS ORIGINAL REGISTRATION ATL89B PRESENT OWNER HAS HAD THIS SCOOTER SINCE 2010 AND HAS BEEN IN REGULAR USE. OTH ON SHORT JOURNIES AROUND TOWN AND LONGER OUTINGS TO PLACES LIKE KELSO. ORECAMBE AND OTHER DESTINATIONS. THE SCOOTER IS STILL ON ITS ORIGINAL ENGINE AND ORIGINAL 8" WHEELS. STILL RETAINS ITS ORIGINAL ELECTRICS WITH A BATTERY. O REAR BRAKE LIGHT WORKS EVEN WHEN THE ENGINE IS NOT RUNNING. THE SCOOTER WILL SIT A 50MPH. O NOT A SLOW COACH. THE SCOOTER WAS RESTORED ABOUT 10 OR 15 YEARS AGO TO A GOOD STANDARD AND STILL LOOKS GOOD TO THIS DAY. THERE ARE SOME MARKS ON THE BODYWORK. UT NO SIGNS OF RUST OR PAINT BLISTERING. ONLY DOWNSIDE TO THE RESTORATION I CAN SEE IS THAT THE FLOOR BOARDS WERE STONECHIP PAINTED ON BOTH THE UNDERSIDE AND THE TOPSIDE BEFORE THE TOP COAT WAS APPLIED SO THE FLOOR LOOKS A BIT LIKE ITS BEEN HAMMERITED. UT THIS COULD EASILY BE FLATTED OFF AND RESPRAYED. THERE ARE OLD TAX DISCS FROM 1998 ONWARDS(NOT A COMPLETE SET AS IT WAS SOMETIMES SORN)OLD MOTS GOING BACK TO 1998. UT AGAIN SOME MISSING DUE TO BEING OFF THE ROAD. ORIGINAL SPPEDO IS STILL FITTED. HOWING UNDER 20. 00 MILES WHICH I BELIEVE WILL BE GENUINE. LOTS OF RECEIPTS FOR WORK CARRIED OUT OVER THE YEARS. THIS IS A GENUINE BRITISH BUILT SCOOTER UNLIKE SOME SHINY IMPORTS OF UNKNOWN ORIGIN. NICE SCOOTER TO COMPLIMENT ANY COLLECTION AND ONE WHICH CAN ONLY GO UP IN VALUE. SCOOTER OMES WITH A VALID MOT UNTIL JANUARY 2016 AND IS TAX FREE DUE TO ITS AGE. SEAT IS A REPLACEMENT ITEM. UT IN VERY GOODD ORDER UNDERNEATH THE ORIGINAL 60'S COVER. SCOOTER IS ADVERTISED ELSEWHERE. O IF YOU ARE INTERESTED. LEASE GET IN CONTACT AS IT MAY SELL ELSEWHERE. CAN BE DELIVERED TO ANY UK ADDRESS AT A COST OF ?1 PER MILE FROM CA89DH.
