I have a ‘64 Allstate that was a barn find and I love that thing! I have a 2007 Vespa GTV, and though the GTV is faster and like a Cadillac in comparison, the old ones are so fun! I upgraded the suspension and engine turning it into a 60mph machine and it’s just so nimble and fun to ride. Thanks for sharing this video!
Tolle Vorstellung einer Allstate Vespa .Liebe Oldtimer Vespas in gutem Zustand (Lackierung neu)warum nicht.Besser als die komische Mode mit ROSTIGER Karosserie (Patina?)herum zu fahren!Liebe Grüsse von SPEEDY (Winnenden)aus Deutschland Süd😊😊😊Wünsche ein tolles Neues Jahr (2025),bleib wie Du bist.
" Checkbook " restorations are the exception.... most of us can't afford the luxury .... A friend and I restore early Xs650's .... we tell a client it starts at 10 large .... paint and chrome can be $4500.oo... chrome has gotten obscenely costly... add frame powder coat.. tires.. etc etc... we're just two old guys who like doing this... we truly don't make money.... ... I currently have a 80' P200E in the shop.... a mild restoration... parts up grades... ( thank you Robot and crew )... Paint, primer and clear coat... over $600.oo ,,,, one small piece to be chromed.. . $250.oo ... 4 shipments from Robot and gang.... ( don't ask )... and between the purchase price of the scooter.. and this project.. I'm in the red and that's ok... been there..done that an hopefully I'll get to do so again before check out time... 😎

Very good detailed explanation and breakdown of the work done and a very useful discussion about costs involved.
Looks sweet. Thanks for showing it to us.
That's a great example of a fully restored vespa.
"Happy new year Robot".

That is lovely - seen this standard of restoration to go for £7000 here in the UK - Just shy of $9000.
BEAUTIFUL!

I dream about these scooters.

I had an Allstate that didn't have a speedometer or a front shock!
