the middle of rebuilding my Vega at the moment so i will up date top speed when rebuilt.
They have a front fork set up similar to that of the scooters like the G.P range.
Unlike todays scooter's & mopeds they were made from steel & did not have loads of plastic all over them,so they are more prone to rust.

Good Old Wonder Nige! He was everyones hero during the 1980's. Always the Bridesmaid but never the Bride was the best statement I ever heard about this man.
The Moustachio man from the Isle of Man, joined the Formula 1 Circus in 1980, driving for the infamous Colin Chapman and team Lotus.
This was an inspired move by Chapman who realised his days as a Formula One leader were slipping by.
It took Nigel 4 years of trying with the Lotus and along the way scoring a couple of podiums and a Pole Position in Dallas, before his talents were spotted by a team worthy of him and he signed for the powerful Williams Honda Team.
