Vespa Piaggio ET4 Black 125CC 2004 Project near Cardiff.

Vespa Piaggio ET4 Black 125CC 2004 Project near Cardiff. Hello and thanks for looking.  I'm going to be as open and frank as possible about this bike - I don't want to mislead any potential buyers!Firstly. the bike is located in Llantwit Major - about 30 minutes west from Cardiff. The lucky winner will need to arrange collection from here. I'm happy to help load the bike onto a trailer/van etc but you'll need to bring your own ropes etc. Should you wish to view the bike. I'm happy for serious potential buyers to take a look but please don't waste both our time! Best time for viewings is evenings - contact me if you are interested.  I purchased this bike from Urban Rider in London in March 2010. I used it for 18 months commuting to Kingston - about 20 miles a day.  During that time. it was a fantastic runner - cheap to run and great fun.  I moved to South Wales end of 2011 and sadly. it's been unused since then. I have checked it. cleaned it and run it a little each summer to prevent any seizing but unfortunately never got around to getting back out on the road on it. Age. a growing sense of mortality and a new wife have all conspired to keep me away from living on the edge - at least as far as a 125CC Vespa counts as living on the edge. Don't judge me!I have receipts and paperwork for any work undertaken during that time - new tires. battery etc which the winner will receive - I keep an efficient filing method!It is currently SORN with no MOT.  Points that the buyer should be aware of:As per the pictures. it has a dent on the front - it doesn't affect the running but is aesthetically a little unpleasing to the eye. The ignition lock barrel is loose and will need new clips to hold it steady in the bodyBattery is dead - I've tried charging it with the (included) Optimate but it's dead dead. Unfortunately this means I haven't been able to run it since March this year. Exhaust - as per all Vespas. it's made out of iron and rusts. It's a known and recognised shortfall with Vespas unfortunately. Please see the photos. It might need replacing in the near future. All the chrome bars have rust - they can be cleaned up with tin foil but once rust is on them. it's tricky to eliminate - sorry. Included are a helmet. gloves. Abus lock. Haynes manual. a lucky dip box of various parts from my tinkering days - plenty of custom mod jobs that can be done on these bikes. the Optimate battery charger (the industry standard!). the weather jacket/nappy cover thing (!) and the windscreen. Mileage. as far as I can remember from March when last fired up. was just under 7000 so plenty of life left in the engine yet. So - I think I've been open and honest about the state and condition of the bike. It's going to need some attention to bring it back up to MOT and roadworthy spec - but hence the low starting price and no (no!) reserve. Great Scot!I'm going to ask/insist that the winner pays £50 deposit through Paypal before collection. Full payment either Paypal in advance or cash on collection - please let me know which way you intend to pay.  Any questions. please don't hesitate to ask - I'll do my best to answer asap for you.

Just to clarify - mileage is 8297 - as can be seen in pic 3. No idea how I missed this earlier - doh!
