Publisher's Synopsis
92 pages, 49 illustrations, size 5.5 x 8.5 inches. A faithful reproduction of the Second Book of the Vespa by J. Thorpe, this book is one of The Motorcyclist's Library series published in the USA by Floyd Clymer by arrangement with the original publishers, Pitman Ltd. of London, England. It includes technical data, service and maintenance information and comprehensive detailed instructions for the repair and overhaul of all major and minor mechanical and electrical components, making it an invaluable resource for collectors and restorers of these classic Vespa motor-scooters. Models covered are the 125cc 152 L2 and 150cc VBA, 5VBA and the 125-150cc Standard and Sportique Rotary Valve models from 1959-1963. Also included are the 1955-1963 GS 150cc series VS1, VS2, VS3, VDS3, VS4 and VS5. There is adequate detailed text and diagrams to assist in major refurbishing such as an engine rebuild or even a complete renovation. This is a 'must have' reference for any Vespa enthusiast and would certainly assist in helping any potential purchaser better understand the inner workings prior to purchasing one of these classic motor-scooters. Out-of-print and unavailable for many years, this book is becoming increasingly more difficult to find on the secondary market and we are pleased to be able to offer this reproduction as a service to all Vespa enthusiasts worldwide.
