Was this the reconnaissance version? LOL... This one has the following information... - Quote :
- Bryn, a school leaver, e rides a motor scooter that would have made a 1960s Mod mad with envy, Saturday 2nd July 1983. The gleaming machine has more extras than moving parts. There are 81 lights front and back and 34 mirrors. When the scooter is on the move and all lit up, it looks like a huge yellow flame from the front and a huge red flame from the rear, according to awed locals in Market Bosworth, Leicestershire.
No guesses yet at the "joust-mobile" |

Peter is CORRECT! So now your turn to find something rare/hard to identify and post it. There were ~600 Vespa 150TAP produced. They were also deployed! |
