Harko - good spotto. But no photoshop involved.
It is a Vespa 3 wheel delivery. When I bought and restored it it had no load body on the back. It would probably have had a zink box/van body.
I had wrecked a rusted out 60 Pontiac for parts for my 59 Bel Air and kept those rear fender pieces cause they were just so nice. I used sections from all sorts to create a Ute type loadbody. I wanted it to look as though it could have left the factory that way. Bumper and panel beneath the bumper is a narrowed down HR . Tailgate is hand fasioned.

The scooter itself is quiet fun to cruise around the neighbourhood with, but never to do any far distance with. Got a 175 cc motor with 4 gears. The diff splits to give you reverse, So you have four reverse gears!!!From the side shafts it has a chain drive on each side down to the back wheels.
Hope no one is too dissappointed with the little thing, but it did get the imagination going.

No disappointment here Allistair, THATS THE COOLEST VESPA I'VE EVER SEEN!!!!!
great custom work

I reckon you had the whole forrum scratching there head on this one..
Well done harko to

BTW Allistair thats a nice lookin HR in the background!

Thats either a very big numberplate or a very small bakkie Alastair

You could have left the badge untouched and I wouldn't have known what the hell it was .
How are we supposed to guess what it was when it's a custom?

Nice job lowering the HR,Harko.

I lowered the wall and garden onto the driveway too ,

that shits all over that jap trike with the FB arse end on it!
awesome!

harko's version cept chuck the vespa engine and add hyabussa

Could be a FB or EK wagon modified into a ute with parts of an FC bumper. DEFinately smells GMH

I knew what the parts were off, but I knew that it wasn't stock.
Helps when you have a '60 Ponti though.

Cool little thing!

Ratbox , took your advice with the Hyabussa motor. It's a bit quicker than with the Vespa motor. Have to get Phoebe a crash helmet though.
By the way Harko. This is South Africa, walls get raised but never lowered.

Man , Your awesome
How long did it take you to do that ? and do you use the tools as a short cut or actually click on the tool of choice ?

Classic!
