Tom B., one of the teachers at Eastchester Middle School in Eastchester, who’s class was recently made famous in the local scooter community for their work restoring Vespas as part of a series of technology and engineering basics has very kindly given us an insight into the work that went into the recently restored 1966 Vespa Allstate by his hard-working students. Congratulations to the students for their fantastic work and the best of luck with this years P125 project.
