First of all, Hello!
Excuse me for writing this in English. I'm from Norway and not very good in Spanish, but with google translate and a little common sense, I'm able to understand quite a bit! ;) Maybe it works the same way for you the other way around?
Anyway, the reason I'm posting here is that I'm looking for the seat and box combination that I have seen on the Spanish postal Vespas:
Me and two other friends will participate in a cross-sahara rally in one year, and we are looking at different seating options. The easiest and simplest would be to fabricate a custom rack and a metal box and then use a regular single saddle like you find on the older scooters. But this seat is not very comfortable in the long run and bounces up and down independantly of the scooter.
Is this something you guys can help me find? Any help would be much appreciated. Who produced this seat and where was the factory?
By the way, you might have noticed some of this years participants of the Budapest-Bamako rally coming through your area the past week. It is this rally that we are going to participate in next year. You can read more about it on our website: http://bamakobyvespa.no. Of course it is all in Norwegian, but google translate might be your friend there.. :)
Once again, thanks alot for any information on this seat.

Thank you so much for your help!
I'm holding the winning bid on the seat on ebay at the moment, but I am unsure if he can send it to Norway. I'm crossing my fingers! :)
Anyway, I'm still looking for two more seats and one more box.. :)

Thanks for your help, guys!
Looks like I might be able to get some seats and boxes from a guy in England. The guy on Ebay didn't want to send outside Spain, and the two other links haven't given me any good replies yet..
Anyway, we still have a little under a year left of planning, so we will sort something out. :)
Another question:
We will most probably not be riding the scooters all the way from Oslo, Norway. The salty, snowy and icy roads will most likely kill the scooters or us before we cross the border into Sweden.
What we are looking at, is a way to send the scooters by lorry or train down to France or Spain and then drive from there. But then we need to find someone who can be in the recieving end and store our scooters when they arrive.
Is there, by any chance, someone in Vespa Club Jaén and with space in there garage who can recieve and/or store our three scooters for a few weeks, or maybe a month in December-January 2011/2012?
We will then fly down in mid-January 2012 load up, meet with the rest of the rally, and head for Africa.

Well, for a cause as adventurous and important in life, I can provide accommodation for your Vespas during that month on my private and closed parking in the capital of Jaen. These parkings have installed security cameras continuously recording
This is the garage:

If necessary and I can take care of a Vespa, at least Magg. Together we can find accommodation for all Vespas.
Best Regards.

Thanks again for all the replies! :)
I wasn't prepared to get that many offers ot help us. There is still quite a while before we can start sending them down to Spain though.
Parch: That looks like a nice garage (and a nice project too!). It is good to know we can use it.
Juan Manuel: Thanks! Good to know.
Nido: Thats very interesting! I'm sending you a PM.
