c. 1948 Vespa 98 Classic Scooter
- Extremely rare late 1940s Vespa scooter
- Engine appears to turn over
Assisted by our consultant Vespa specialists, this mysterious model has been recognised as a rare Ninety Eight model which was marketed as the first Vespa machine of the late 1940s.
Despite deceiving features such as the Scooters fork assembly and engine cover panel from later models, it is believed this bike dates to 1948.
No V5c comes alongside the vehicle. Fascinating, rare and beautiful this is a hard to come by opportunity for global Vespa collectors to attain such a specialised and sought after Scooter.
