-----------------------------

Vespa has the round front light. Motovespa are famous for using whatever bits are left over from previous builds. 1963 150s in Spain had the round front light. 1964 they went with the trap headset.

It appears that the Motovespa 150s is basically a GL with GS cowls. Seeing as the GS160 was released before the GL, it would make sense that for the year 1963, it could have had a VBB/GS headset.

1963 series 1 motovespa 150S. This is down to the round headlight, frame and engine numbers, 10 inch standard wheels, etc etc.

It has the body of a GS160 mark II, but has a different headset, and the forks off a Vespa Sprint. The 1961 to 1964 models have round headlights similar to a Vespa VBB. The 1965 model has a trapeziodal headlight.
