Fans of unusual two-wheeled things, you're in for a treat today. This is a 1958 Sachs Progress scooter, which were only imported into the US for a couple of years by the Berliner Motor Corporation. If that name rings a bell, it may be because Berliner also imported several other European marques from the 1950s forward, including Ducati, Moto Guzzi, Norton, and Zundapp.
Finding a 1958 Sachs Progress scooter would be rare enough, but this isn't just any 1958 Progress. No, indeed, a previous owner somewhere along the line decided to engine swap it. Instead of finding the same Sachs 191cc inside that also powered the Messerschmitt KR200 microcar, what's under that bodywork is the engine from a Honda SL250 motorcycle.
