Ignition Switch GS160 DC Siem

Ignition Switch for DC GS160 (Battery type).

This ignition switch has 5 positions. Made in Italy. Original GRABOR-SIEM Re-manufactured. SIEM Was the Italian company that Vespa contracted with from circa 1950-1985 for manufacturing of switches, headlights, taillights, and related electrical components until they went out of business in the mid 80s. The quality of original Siem components has been lacking on the spare parts market since their closure. In 2010, an Italian lighting and switch manufacturing company called GRABOR purchased the manufacturing rights and tooling to all the original Siem-made Vespa components.

What does this mean to any vintage Vespa owning individual? It means that Siem and the Italian-made quality that comes with the Siem name is BACK. This stuff is the NICEST you can buy. It's like going back in time and buying New Old Stock components from the future. Is that even possible?
