Unique oddity
Our vendor previously ran a small scooter shop and this unique machine was brought in to him many years ago by an old gentleman. The story as we understand it is that this scooter was home built by a very capable engineer and was used in the building of moorings on the Broads for the Norwich Yacht club Marina. It apparently was connected to a derrick used for pile driving the new moorings into the river as well as being used to ride.
We note that the engine is a 1956 Vespa Douglas 125cc motor and the handlebars, wheel and suspension are all probably from the same Vespa. It looks to be a complete vehicle with numerous motorcycle and home engineered parts and exhaust. Offered at no reserve.
