Re: Hello
Great to see that East Orange Ape - what is the VIN prefix of that ape? I have one that was first sold in Mass. that has an ACA2T prefix, but a D engine.
Best of luck getting both back on the road!

Re: Hello
It was more the serial number I've tried to decipher, as it doesn't show up on any lists - I'm pretty certain it's mostly if not all AD1, but why the number change for the foreign market?

This is about ACA1T: http://modernvespa.com/forum/topic66924.
On the ApeVintage register ( http://www.apevintage.com/cgi-bin/vista.pl ) I found:
ACA2T 1069 Sonoma CA
ACA2T 24388 Rockport (Massachusetts) - 1969
ACA2T 27798 Santa Barbara CA
I think Piaggio used the prefix ACA1T and ACA2T for vehicles built for american market. Maybe the "A" letter means "America".

Re: Hello
Original importer into USA was in Boston - VESCONI INC. Client of mine in USA has this Ape and was also confused by the serial number - have a look, slight difference in the serial number - Ken
The A in the serial number probably designates 'America' we buy/restore/sell P501 and P601s and parts/manuals/handbooks

Re: Bongiorno a tutti!
I saw the registry, and I bought it from a gentleman who rode it daily, but had it registered as a vintage auto - town was Rockport, Maine. I did get some of the original paperwork with the sale.mondoape ha scritto:This is about ACA1T: http://modernvespa.com/forum/topic66924.
