Not too shabby. Are you sure this is a T5 cos it looks like a PX to me? It's got a PX horncasing, PX 'Vespa' Script badge and the engine hasn't got the soundproofing cover on it that T5's have.

I have to agree with the right honrourble gentleman, does look like a P-range. Nice though, and probably a damn site more reliable than the Lammy. |

Suppose it could be, it has T5 badges, and does have the soundproofing inside the sidepanel? The floorboard has the holes for the regulation mat found on T5 classics, the bloke before had runners put on. When i next see you we'll have a good look at it and try to get to the bottom of it...

Oh in that case it probably is a T5 that someone's changed about. In the trade it's called a bitsa. As in bitsa this and bitsa that!

Lord knows what engine it has, although the T5 sito plus went straight on, or seemed to!
Any idea on the differences PX vs T5 exhaust fittings, out of interest?

T5 exhaust has two nuts that hold it to the barrel. PX has one nut.

Yes, def 2 nuts on the exhaust manifold. So must be a T5 head. The bloke i bought it off said the previuos guy was a 'bit of a tinkerer' so he probably changed all sorts...

Makes you wonder what time a Pirate has to ride a scooter. |
