Too bad, the R90 doesn't look like it's been ridden since new headers went on...  :P

The red scooter is a Rumi Formichino ("Little Ant"), from Italy, late 1950s and looks in beautiful condition. Two cylinder two-stroke engine, 125 cc I believe.

It was a 1960 absolutely mint, got chatting to the guy and he told me the company got buried by Lambretta and Vespa but they sold alot into South America the air intake is not original though, For a scooter it was pretty nippy i followed him a ways when we left.
