Would anybody have any idea of where I could get a Vespa or would I need to import( & if so how would I go about it,was on 1 over the w/e in Rome & loved it)
what kind are you looking for -modern vespa or vintage one restored?? if you're in Dublin you could try Scooter Island as they're the nearest. better value for money however is southside scooters in Dungarvan (www.southsidescooters.com) - they can restore an old vespa to your tastes, they're cheaper than scooter island and will deliver to dublin for about 50euro extra.
(i should point out that i have no connection with either of the above but as i've recently bought a 1985 Vespa 125 i've spent the past few months looking around)
expect to pay about €2k for a fully restored vespa if buying from a dealer. other than that you could try www.buyandsell.ie as there's usually a few for sale on there
try the irish trading company in kennelsfort rd,palmerstown. (old vincent byrnes site). called in there to look at some furniture which they mainly deal in.spotted 3/4 vespas and lambrettas in stunning cond.apparently he sends them abroad for total nut and bolt stripdown/recon.still no furniture bought though.3 piece suite or vespa---------im still in discussion with herself.
