Hola y bienvenitos from Canada. Poco Espanol. Manual for Ape 175 is available for free download on my website - it's Uso e manutenzione and may be of help to you. You have a big job ahead of you, mucho trabajo! - Ken

Bonjour Gerardi: Je ne parle pas Francais tres bien, j'avais seulement deux ans en Ecole de Francais, dans 1958-1959. Good luck in your search. If I can be of assistance in determining the condition of what you find I'd be glad to help. You will find this website a great resource with very knowledge...

The doors from the burned P501 Pianale were sodablasted by my friend - He was worried the high temperature for powder coating would warp the door skins, so I cleaned them using lacquer thinners (see deposits on the rag) and primed them. Only minor touch-ups and they're ready for finish paint. The Pi...

Perhaps a smoke machine for the wedding! My friend Raymond who lives nearby has installed a smoke machine on his 1982 Piaggio P501 Vespacar Pianale MPR2T+25088+ - He also built a trailer to tow his dog "Buster" behind the Ape on his trips to the coffee shop. - Ken - http://img167.imageshac...
