no that's a zuma! DUH!

I'm not to seasoned on older scooters... sorry...

I can't be of much help...

maybe the for sale sign blew off... Go talk to them... Heck maybe you could get a freebee as they just want it gone!

Never know!

I think King Vino's right about the model. It's definately a vespa from the 50's or the 60's and it's very possible it's a GS. I was thinking it was a sprint, but the cowls don't look boxy enough. The 2nd wheel in the back is the spare and is usually hidden up under the left cowl.

The pic above is of a Vespa M used by the French Army used in the French war with Algeria in 1956. these weren't too popular and I regal Piggy tried to place a bid with the UN to supply them for Korea but failed.
