Restoration work is a big part of our business and is what we do best. We can undertake a complete scooter restoration or we can can change the look of one of our in shop scooters to fit your requirements. How long it takes to restore your scooter depends upon our current workload and the

 

 

specification you require for your scooter, but we aim to complete within the estimated time given upon your order. The cost of course depends upon your budget. Tell us what you can afford and we will work out what can be done for you, in addition we can MOT and register your machine, all you need to do is ride away on your pride and joy.

A scooter restoration project can be broken down into 3 definitive stages. Below is an overview of what is involved at each stage but if you would like to take a look at the Vespa 90 link on the left you can follow our latest project.

Stage1. The project is stripped down to it's component parts. The serviceable parts are retained and the frame, forks, body panel, wheels, hubs etc are blasted. The panel & frame work are repaired or welded where necessary and primed ready for paint. All parts are finished in two pack paint with the colour of your choice.

The crank case is stripped bare, usually the case is then cleaned, rough surfaces removed and is either blasted, powder coated or painted to your preference.

 

Stage2. The engine is then fully rebuilt using new quality parts including crankshaft, bearings, seals, clutch chain guides. We fit electronic ignition as an option but are happy to return the machine with standard original electrical equipment. All engines are rebuilt to include your personal requirements with any performance enhancements added.

Stage3. The machine is then rebuilt with new cables, electrical looms, rubber trim and badges etc. When finished the scooter will look better than when it first left the factory. of course this would be due to the use of modern materials.

The work is carried out in our workshop so if you would like to enquire about a scooter restoration, please do not hesitate to contact us with any enquiry.
