- Powered by a 1956 Vespa Douglas 92L2 engine
- Used in an engineering project
- 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 was apparently used and kept fastened to a derrick that had been used for pile-driving moorings into the river.
We note that the engine is a 1956 Vespa Douglas 125cc motor and the handlebars, wheels 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'.
