Today I took my Vespacar P501 (187 cc) to a shop where they
can (hopefully) get it running. It looks a lot like this P400:

It sure gets a lot of attention. After visiting several dozen repair
shops, none of which wanted to touch it, I finally got lucky and found
a place where they like dealing with unusual vehicles.

It was a real operation getting it on and off the trailer. I use two
aluminum hand-operated lifts, one on each side with a pair of 8 foot
wooden beams between them running under the trike's frame. I didn't
think to take pix but will try to remember when I go to pick it up.
