the vespa was modified for function as well, it had gone from a stock 197 with a breadbox exhaust and 24mm carb to a right little powerhouse...
it had a 212cc kit with a stroker crank that took it to 225cc, 30mm carb, unbaffled and modified for freer breathing expansion chamber and hi-po clutch kit
it did however cop more than its fair share of bling...shed loads of chrome and engraving ( this was the mid 80s remember ), gold metalflake custom seat, trick backrest that flipped over for rider or passenger with matching gold metalflake pad, engraved windscreen, halogen conversion, candy metalflake gold/black paint, head/tail and indicator light grilles, stereo in the glovebox and probably other stuff i've forgotten
i finished it on the thursday before the first run of the year...trowelled it on the sunday
if i can ever find the photos of it i'll post them up for a laugh
