Some Vespas at the Imola fair

Waiting for the customers, on a Vespa 50 Special.

Time for some pics of Vespas at the Imola fair. This year I had no eye for the nice "oldies", maybe I had an overdose last year? And there are more of the Vespas from the 80's and the 90's for sale. The faro bassos and other 50's and 60's models are quite pricey.
Isn't "junk" fascinating? But some vendors are asking a lot for stuff in bad condition.
I also spotted a nice Cosa 200 but "forgot" to take a picture. Maybe the "not so old Vespas" are gaining a following for each year passing?
Well, I myself bought a PK 50 XL from 1987. Unfortunately I hadn't time for searching for the right white plastic accessories...
But if you went for new spare parts, Mauro Pascoli was present with a really big trailer!

At least a T5 and a PX.

Not to everyone's taste - a cutdown.


This is not paint but printed foil.

Come and get the bargains!

Imola: Other scooter makes

A Moto Guzzi Galletto from the end of production, 192 cc.

Not only Vespa and Lambretta caught my eye during the fair at Imola. Some other makes were present.
The big surprise was the "Catria" from Motobi Pesaro. I sure wasn't expecting two (!) MV Agusta either.
We do have some Moto Guzzi Galleto's here in Sweden, mainly of the first series from the 50's, 160 or 192 cc. Also the 150 cc Iso were sold here during the heydays. Event the second series of 125 cc capacity Iso's. The one in the pic needs a lot of TLC...
Nice scoots!

A MV Agusta CGT which has been resprayed sometimes.
Laverda 50 cc 4-stroke scooter from the 60's. 
The sad remains of an Iso Scooter 125.
A Benelli, the legshield says scooter, the wheels are too big. A moped.
An Iso Diva (?), they were called "Milano" in Sweden. Left: a Capri.
The english contribution; a three-wheeled Ariel...
Another Moto Guzzi Galetto.
Another view on the Catria from Motobi Pesaro.
A closer take on the MV Agusta CGT 150 cc.
