Vaga 250/1935
Hello from the Czech Republic.
I am interested in Italian motorcycles from the 1930s that used J.A.P. engines.
I am the owner of a Ganna 350/1932 and now also a Vaga 250/1935 with frame number 144.
I would really like to get more information about the Vaga 250:
- how many were produced in total with the 250 engine?
- how many of these motorcycles are currently in working condition
- what brand of electrical accessories were on this motorcycle?
- was a battery dynamo ignition used like my Ganna, or a Lucas/Bosch mag dynamo?
- it is currently equipped with a Magneti Marelli headlight and a Bosch horn.
- I am interested in getting literature, photos and other things.
Best regards
Libor Čejka
