Finished my nut and bolt resto on my Italian import PK125S 1983, Was imported in 2003 and found it sat in a shed in Birmingham last year untouched apart from a lovely Cadburys Purple rattle can make over (lovely, they didn't even mask anything off so purple paint everywhere haha) stripped it and apart from a couple of minor dents frame wise she was in mint condition. not a spot of rust to be seen very lucky must be the Italian climate. Took it to a local car body shop who restores small CC 1970's motorbike's as a hobby and was so enthusiastic about painting it. Funny when I dropped it off a squabble started between 3 paint sprayers as who gets to paint it lol. As the engine was un molested and I have a tuned ET3, I decided to keep her 100% standard apart from a Sito plus exhaust upgrade. Still running in but had it at 60mph think that is as quick as a PX125. Few more pics to follow

Arr, can't remember 100% which shop I got it from now, used so many when sourcing parts. How-ever just searched for one on e-bay and found one sold by Sundarscoots £13.95 + postage, I just typed Vespa centre mat into search. Grey looks crap as doesn't match rubber floor channel strips.
