1960 Vespa 400 Microcar with Harley Davidson Sportster engine

Yep. It has a reverse. We used a winch motor with a pulley/belt system...

[ibrmmh]

Is there a reverse gear?

[mengle2004]

so cool

[wvXvxvXvw]

Love it, why not an Evo? I love the power of the 96ci in my 08 Bob. I also like the 6 speed. Was it a space issue or just a "I have this one and I'm gonna use it" build? Either way, I like it. Whats the weight?

[39crosley]

Unfortunaetly, although there was a lot of planning, there are no official plans. All the plans were stored in our heads. Nothing really on paper, so there is nothing to sell.

[nicholascremato]

would you sell the plans for this?

[mattox]

god you could mess around with ppl so bad with that thing :)

[ChromeHellsmasher]

Does it have reverse?

[39crosley]

@ChromeHellsmasher Yes it does...

[chestorino]

OMG WHAT A MICROCAR. I WANT TO BUY IT.

[Campaj1]

[Campaj1]

love it! would this work in an original mini do you think?

[39crosley]

@Campaj1 you could make anything work with a little work and planning....

[Campaj1]

@39crosley heres hoping! i only say cause minis are easier to find than those rare vespas here in the uk

i like old micro cars..but im an average income person and i have more important hings i should spend my money on...how i wish i win the lotto so i could enjoy toys like this one

[techdavey1000]

@EvendimataE Sadly if you do come into a little bit of dosh (life insurance policy matures or you get an industrial injury compensation payout) you will have problems. Problem is that as soon as you buy any "toys" thieving scum will arrive to steal them. Get-rich-quick scum are everywhere these days and hard studying plus holding down a job for years doesn't appeal to them at all. The latest one I've read about is finding disused railway lines and lifting the track! Good luck!
