VESPAS

Vespas are complicated because there are many different models to begin, then many that overlap in different ways, so maybe no/some/many parts are interchangeable between models. (Fortunately, some models are the same but simply 125cc vs. 150cc.) Then there are country-specific variations with different VIN numbers (UK Douglas, French ACMA, USA Allstate); for those you have to figure out your equivalent Italian model noted below.

PX STYLE

Details: right angles combined with better engineering. T5 have a different 125cc engine. Cosa are an evolution of the PX. New Indian Bajaj are wider to fit a 4-stroke engine.

Models: P125X (VNX1T), PX125E (VNX2T), T5 (VNX5T), P150X (VLX1T), PX150E (VLX1T), P150S (VBX1T), P200E (VSX1T), PX200E (VSX1T), Cosa 150 (VLR), Indian LML Star (called Stella in the USA).

RALLY

Details: similar looking to Sprint but different bodywork, has a glovebox, unique engine.

Models: Rally 175 (VRD1T) (Swiss only), Rally 180 (VSD1T), Rally 200 (VSE1T)

VLB SPRINT STYLE

Details: squared off panels and mudguard. Some models/countries have rounded headsets with a smaller VBC Super like headset/speedo, others a trapezoid headset with clamshell speedo. Often has a bench seat. Sprint/Super/VBB types share many parts.

Models: 125 GT (VNT), 125 GT (VNL1T), 125 GT (VNL2T), 125 GTR (VNL2T), 125 TS (VNL3T), 150 Sprint (VLB1T), 150 Sprint V (VLB1T). The 150 GL (VLA1T) is similar but an earlier variation.

VBC SUPER STYLE

Details: Similar to the Sprint, but 8 inch wheels and smaller panels/fender/headset. Small speedo. Often has a bench seat. Sprint/Super/VBB types share many parts.

Models: 125 Super (VNC1T), 150 Super (VBC1T)

VBB STYLE

Details: rounded panels; a smaller, neater version of the earlier widebody; 8 inch wheels. Earlier models have square speedos. Sprint/Super/VBB types share many parts. The earlier VNA (Douglas 152L2) engine is a bit different, and the VNA1T is piston ported.

Models: 125 (VNA1T-2T), 125 (VNB1T-6T), 150 (VBA1T), 150 (VBB1T-2T), 150 GL (VGLA1T-B1T). Called a “Sportique” in the UK.

SS180

Details: similar looking to the Rally but bigger and the engine is like a GS160.

Models: 180 SS (VSC1T)

GS160

Details: super fat round panels; like a big 10 inch version of the VBB. Unique engine.

Models: GS 160 (VSB1T)

GS150

Details: like earlier widebody but different engine, 10 inch wheels and a bench seat.

Models: GS 150 (VS1T-5T)

EARLY WIDEBODY

Details: front right-side panel cuts into the body; fold-open carb box at your feet; old-school engine; 8 inch wheels (except VGL1T). Earlier ones have a handlebar with fenderlight, middle ones a small headset, later ones have a VBB type headset but maybe a square speedo.

Models: 125 (V1T-V15T), 125 (V30T-V33T), 125 (VM1T-2T), 125 (VN1T-2T), 150 (VL1T-3T), 150 (VB1T), 150 GL (VGL1T)

SMALLFRAME STYLE

Models: V5*/VA5* (50cc), V8*/VA8* (80cc), V9* (90/100cc), VMA/B/X* and VAM* (125cc).

LAMBRETTA

Lambrettas are easy. You have Series 3, Series 2, Series 1, and LD types, then a few early minibike-like models. All S3 share - or at least can fit - most other S3 model parts, only the body styling or the engine configuration is a little different. Even S1 and S2 share many parts with a S3.

SERIES 3 STYLE

Details: “slim-style” body; 10 inch wheels

Models: LI150, LIS150, SX150, TV175, TV200, SX200, DL/GP150, DL/GP200, and 125cc versions.

Notes: Above are the DL/GP, SX200 and LIS150. All the Series 3 scooters (1960's) are practically the same except for slight engine and panel differences. Only the LI with rounded headset/horncast/fender/panels, and the DL/GP with it's unique headset/horncast/legshield/fender/panels, look quite different outside, though engines are still very similar. Most models can exchange most parts.

SERIES 2 STYLE

Details: a fatter body than Series 3 with a big round fender. Most Series 3 engine parts fit.

Models: LI125, LI150, LI150 Rallymaster, TV175.

SERIES 1 STYLE

Details: like Series 2, but with the headlight on the horncast. The engine is a little different from the S2, but still the same S1-2-3 family.

Models: LI125, LI150, TV175.

LD STYLE

Details: squared-off fender; handlebar but small headset on Mk III versions; 8 inch wheels. These and older models have a completely different engine from later S1-3 types.

Models: LC, LD, LDA, 150 and 125cc versions.

D STYLE, etc.

Details: minibike-like; small fender; squared-off fender; no panels; 8 inch wheels.

Models: A, B, C, D, E, F, 150 and 125cc versions.
