All of the 150cc models used the beautiful "clamshell" speedometer which was also used on the G.S. The 150 had a "Vespa 150" badge riveted to the right side of the legshield. The Vespa and Vespa 150 badges were made of flat aluminum. They had a similar layout to the later motors, but were not rotary valve. Bottom LineThe Vespa 150 is a robust scooter and capable of use on today's roads.

Try to find out why/when it changed colour... Ie, was it 'restored'& repainted by a shop... Possibly they restored it using cheap parts, hence the bodge look. Its odd that there is no motor number, so also try to find out why the motor was changed.
VESPA VBB (BM-228)The Vespa “VBB” is really the essence of the classic Vespa design. By the early 60’s, all of the mechanical and aesthetic aspects of the Vespa had really been perfected by Piaggio. It is really hard to beat a nice VBB for the money. Even now, fifty years on, these scooters are great for getting around an urban environment in style. This really is a great scooter for getting around the city and look good doing it.
At least for scooters and motorcycles you only need to find one... With cars you need a matched pair. This is where I got minehttp://search.rubylane/search?db=&ss=License+plates&sb=GoEach state has different rules. In my case I also had to buy a sticker from the year as well and that I got on eBay.
