Vespa VBB Sidecar Export Case Study - Delivered to USA Collector

This page documents a real export project completed by The Vintage Motorcycles: two fully restored Vespa VBB sidecars built in Vietnam, shipped internationally, and delivered to a collector in the United States. The entire journey is recorded here - from workshop build, testing, crating, shipping, to real-world riding after arrival.

1. Riding Test in the USA

After customs clearance and local delivery in the United States, both scooters were received and tested by the owner, Mr. Eric. These videos show the actual scooters being ridden on public roads after international shipping. This confirms that both vehicles arrived in fully operational condition.

2. Delivery Photos from the Customer

These photos were taken by the customer after receiving the scooters in the United States. The vehicles are shown exactly as they arrived after shipping, without any modification.

3. Shipping Preparation - Wooden Crate Packaging

Before international shipment, both scooters were securely packed in custom-built wooden crates. Each unit was strapped and stabilized to prevent movement during ocean freight and handling. This process ensures safe transport for long-distance export.

4. Pre-Shipment Testing in Vietnam

Before crating, both scooters were fully tested at our workshop yard in Vietnam. This includes engine tuning, electrical checks, and full road testing to ensure everything works properly before export.

5. Final Workshop Documentation - Pre-Export Staging

These photos were taken at our workshop yard in Vietnam before the scooters were handed over to the freight forwarder for crating and export procedures. This stage captures the final condition of each vehicle after completion and final inspection, prior to international shipping and customs processing.
