Vespa P200E Dakar
Since the original model from the kit was a Vespa 50s, the nose had to be remade.
The glovebox was to be made also. The original seat was recycled into the extended fuel tank, and the rear light was repositioned.
A new exhaust, number plate, and headlight guard were done.
The girl from the kit suffered a head transplant, also the shorts weren't the most suitable clothes for a Dakar!
A set of decals has to be done for thie Vespa
All the pieces ready to assemble
A full preparation for a Dakar! (Tyres? What tyres?)
Marc Simonot ready to depart from Paris!
