Rust will be your biggest enemy. Go through the P2 & P3 photo file on my website and look for photos showing where they rust out. Lift the floor mats and take photos. Bodywork is expensive. The more large size photos you can take and post the better we can see to give you advice. I take it that the Ape is being sold 'as is'. The more you can point out faults to the seller the lower the price. Parts are not cheap. - Ken http://www.kjjohnson.ca/piaggio/pictures/Ape%20P2-P3/ -
The ApeCar has been painted so take a magnet and if there's a lot of body filler the magnet won't stick. Look under the doors and crawl underneath with a light and look everywhere or you might get some nasty surprises.

Re: Tyres for P3 AF4 frame
Thanks Ken for advices!
I found one Vespa Car at city suburban, I will check it soon and post photos here.
Please let me know, which oil, from new generation oils, you suggest to use with benzine engines?

Use SAE30 or SAE40 oil in the gearbox, 900ml from empty and make sure you clean the drain plug magnet that collects metal shavings from gearbox and differential gears. Good quality 2 stroke oil in its tank - Ken
