Retro Vespas & Lambrettas

[rangaraj]

Hi,

A few weeks ago, when i was getting out of Sunny's a popular restaurant in bangalore, i saw a bunch of south east asians riding vintage vespa's and lambretta's that were wonderfully restored. Looked straight out off an Italian town... Could not get a photograph as it was dark. Anyone else spotted these guys?

Oriental people driving Italian classics on Indian soil by a global restaurant. I love it.

Were there a couple of southeastern girls on a pink vespa?

In my colege there's a Thai girl with a beautiful pink Vespa.

There were four scooters in all.. A few couples and a few singles.. One of them could be the lady you are talking about.. You should probably check with her, where they got them from - imported them or bought them locally and restored them..

i did see some in a restored lamberetta in sanjay nagar it was blue one some Asians were riding them.

pacer yamaha @ infantry road restores Vespas and lamys and exports them. He also sells a decent number in india. They are built better than factory standards, so its simply stunning too.

Glad I found this thread. So Pacer restores classic scoots? That's great news! I've seen these guys plenty of times on MG Road and Church Street, the bikes are stunning. But I only see them after dark, and they're usually speeding off somewhere, so photos are impossible.
