Hi , I've got a Vespa Pentaro. Pentaro refers to the 5th wheel as in a semi, or 5 wheels in general. Pent means 5 as in Pentagon. Not sure which. not the maker which is Vespa. They are awesome vehicles.Your site is great as usual!
oh wow! Thanks! Well, now I know, and will correct what I wrote, but I'm also surprised to learn you have one! Compliments! What do you put on yours? Do you have photos posted somewhere online?
oh wow! You motivate me to want to show up with tools and help! Cars are too darn big to jump on and restore, but, motorcycles and scooters have the right size for a quick enough progression from as found, to restored, to keep up the motivation that amateur car restorers often lose. Simple old cars are less than a couple months, like the 1969 Corvettes I helped with, but, when I stopped by while Paul was finishing up on his Ape https://justacarguy.blogspot.com/2008/12/1956-piaggio-ape-ahh-pay-resurected.html it was super high spirits as part after part was assembled and bolted on.
you are correct, bikes and microcars are the most fun for me. Quick to restore,fun and easy to push around and store! Just finished up a strange one ,a 1956 Bond Minicar Mk C.So ugly it is beautiful!
