hi all,
i can get hold of a old vespa that needs restoring now im not a big lover of vespas but it is only £50, my dad and others said they would be up for giving me a hand.
i noticed the old ones go for quite alot of money that is why i am interested.
what do you think? is it worth the time and effort?

Might be if you can find somewhere to get the parts you need for a decent price. Only you can answer that really, its your time and its your effort to spend. I personally would rather restore something else for myself, but if you are looking to earn a quick buck why not.

What Vespa is it? What does it need?

You would get a hefty wad for that restored to perfect condition thats for sure.

Just budget some extra money incase you run into problems that didn't occur to you when you started. There is always something that crops up half way through Smile

Good luck.

Buy it, even if you lose interest you will get more than that for it on ebay.
