Robbie shared a video on Instagram where he filmed a rusty Vespa in an old barn.

The motorcycle was completely discolored after rusting over several years.

The Vespa was silver and dusty and parked in front of an old barn.

Robbie filmed around the bike before zooming in on an authenticating tag that said the vehicle was made in Italy.

He also found an old red sticker on the front that said “Speed,” after brushing off some dust.

“Discovery of the 1951 Vespa barn,” he wrote on the video and added an upbeat Tom Petty song over the top.

Fans flooded the comments section with awe at Robbie’s “Beautiful” discovery.

“This is overall good condition. Appears to have aluminum hoods and fenders complete with floor rails as well. Nice find,” wrote one follower.

“Wow. Killer,” added another.

“Sounds like a good investment,” said a third.

“What a great discovery,” noted a fourth with several applause emojis.

Robbie’s latest video came after the star was working to restock her antiques store in Iowa.

NEW BUSINESS?

When not on the road searching for antique treasures, Robbie owns and operates his own shop, United Service Motors, in Davenport.

Robbie purchased the office building in March 2021 for $200,000.

It had to undergo some expensive renovations, including a new roof for $24,755 and plumbing and electrical work for $900.

The interior of the store is covered from floor to ceiling, full of quirky antique finds.

In photos previously shared online, shoppers see several rare finds, including vintage cars.

RARE FINDS

Among the old engines, a dusty old Ford truck sits in the middle of the garage.

Surrounding it are several curiosities, such as a giant model plane and a British telephone booth.

Robbie’s older brother, Mike, also owns a vintage store where he works in between filming the show.

Mike owns and runs Ancient Archaeology.

The 58-year-old has two stores, located in Le Claire, Iowa, and Nashville, Tennessee.

The brothers appear to have focused more on their stores following challenging ratings declines and speculation of their show’s cancellation.

They appear alongside fellow cast members Danielle Colby, 48, and Jon Szalay, 60, aka Jersey Jon.

The lowest rating of the season was just 774,000 viewers for the Valentine’s Day episode.

The highest viewership count of the season brought in 948,000 viewers on January 24.

However, things are looking more positive as the cast is on the road gathering content for the upcoming season 26.

“They’re filming, they just got back from Louisiana,” a source exclusively told The US Sun.

“They are filming for season 26 and have signed on for another three years,” the show source said.
