The Vespa findings examined




Handlebar parts to at least VM1-VM2.

Yes, I couldn't resist a small wood box filled with Vespa parts on a veteran fair here in Sweden. Today I opened the box to really see what I had purchased. 
Most parts belong to a 1953 Vespa 125, VM1, faro basso. The seller at the fair said that he last year  sold a restored VM1 at the same market. But he couldn't tell if this is the leftovers from that restoration. The seller had more but other two wheel parts, so I guess he vacuums his neighbourhood for things to sell.
Yes, this was all his Vespa parts.




Spare wheel holder mounted under rear luggage rack.



Cover for clutch side.



Flywheel to a GS among all faro basso stuff.



Kick start lever, VM1-VM2
