This is a post that was originally on girlbike.com back in April of 2005. A reader, Michael Ellens of Florida, sent me a series of photographs of “Miss Vicki,” a 1979 Vespa 50 Special he rebuilt as a gift for his girlfriend. Click on the “after” shot for a closeup of the pinstripe detailing. What an amazing transformation: from backyard hose rack to gorgeous! Below is how Miss Vicki looked with her new pink leopard scooter seat cover and pink lace paint job.
Oh! I remember that bike! And I still absolutely love it!
That was one great little restoration project!
As you know I have always been a fan of Girlbike.com and it’s good to see some of the old content again.
very very nice! i wish we had more women retro scooter lovers here in the philippines.
