[meatgrowler]

At the start of september i will be requiring to buy an old up together Vespa or lambretta with papers,the paintwork is not mega important,as it will be re done,i have scoured the island,asking most of the bike shops,many times i have been told that they have a friend who would like to sell,only for them to change their minds..I have heard that there are a few for sale at BANDON near Surathani,also Bangkok and Chang MAI.....do any of you TV members own or know of either of these scooters for sale at a fair{not ridiculous} price.....?thanks in advance

Try thaisecondhand.

There are a few vespas buzzing around Surat but i have only ever seen 1 lambretta in 4 years. An Li3 now painted a nasty pink colour!

I saw one for sale a few months ago in Fisherman's village, as you go in, turn right and it was in one of the artists shops.

There was one a few weeks ago (not sure exact model) for sale in Bangrak. Parked in front of one of the girly bars - think it was Kaew's bar. It may still be there.

Pop down to the old school bike shop next the the hut bar on the ghost road. Scouse Steve the owner has just finished paiting a couple of old Vespas he may be able to point you in the right direction for one, cheers Dunc

As of today- my next door neighbour in Lamai has 2 Vespas for sale (were bought from Jerry) but due to hospital costs my neighbour is selling both (one silver and one red)

PM me for details if you are still searching?

All the best, Steve

As a Vespa rider for over 20 years I would say go to Bangkok and buy something there. The prices will be cheaper and then you can have it sent to anywhere in Thailand via the Post Office. I have sent a bike from Samui to Rayong for something just over 3,000 baht (I think). Took about 7 days.

Scooter Bar is closed and was never a dealer in Vespas, any more than Candle Bar sells candles or Butterfly Bar specializes in Lepidoptera mounting (...hang on there..... ).

Although Vespas are easy to repair, there are service and repair issues that you need to have done by a professional, and I have no knowledge of anyone skilled in this here on Samui. There is certainly no Vespa shop here, and as a true Vespa man myself, if I thought that I could get service on the island, I would have purchased one myself ages ago.

I don't understand why you are "required" to buy a Vespa or Lambretta (and I don't understand "to buy an old up together" -- I can't even speculate what that might mean). Unless you have a friend here who has the tools and knowledge and access to parts (one of the real bugaboos), then you might want to think about purchasing something else.

OCD.

[Boater]

OCD?

[Mark Wolfe]

Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD)...and I will leave it up to you to fit this into the thread....
