    Vespa 1951 "rod model" collectors item

    I have my prized mostly restored 1951 Douglas Rod model Vespa up for sale.
    For full details and pictures see my trademe classisfied.

    I would take less that 5600 this week only, as I need money to finish paying for my Hesketh!

    Regards
    Gavin

    It's been on a while, hasn't it?

    Is it together yet?

    Seems VERY expensive.

    What's so special about it?
    It's only when you take the piss out of a partially shaved wookie with an overactive 'me' gene and stapled on piss flaps that it becomes a problem.

    I originally only put it on trade me to get someone to offer me the correct badge for it and that worked a treat!
    Not together.
    Might seem expensive but I have had two serious enquires about it.
    Early classic Vespas have a following.

    Whats so special about it? If you have to ask you would not appreciate the answer I figure...

    Regards

    I used to own a 92/L2. Apart from looking quite nice, they don't do much. WAY too slow to use on the road. And (no offence) that's a crazy, crazy price for an old Vespa.

    Hey, can you keep your unhelpful comments to yourself? Just because it does not have that value to YOU does not mean others might not happy to pay that amount.

    Other people have money and appreciate them.

    And yes I am annoyed.

    Hey, you posted it on KB. Unhelpful comments is what it's all about.

    Clean runners are getting that type of money for the old ones. Pop it back together, you'll have a better chance of a sale.

    The old Vespas are becoming quite collectable and desirable.
