The Vespa P range was launched in 1977 in Milan as the nuova linea model (new line). A hugely successful model for Piaggio for almost 40 years. The P range now stands as the last ‘classic’ Vespa range produced. With a newly designed and more angular chassis than all that had preceded it it soon had integral indicators, electronic ignition and a much larger headlight than the Rally, the range it superseded. Several versions came and went and upgrades over the years included 12v electronics, automatic fuel mix, lockable side panels and disc brakes. But the end of the line was near with Euro 3 compliance standards ramping up against 2-stroke motorcycles and a catalytic converter was added from 2010 to prolong the life of the range. However this wasn’t enough and production of the PX ended completely in early 2017 as the engine would fail to meet Euro 4 compliance emission requirements.
This example was purchase new by our vendor from Browns of Goldalming in 1989. It has been cherished and gently used by him over all of these years. It remains completely original including paint and stands at 17950 miles from new. Serviced annually and supplied with MOT certificates from 1992 up until 2023 it is rare to find these like this now. Comes with a spare key. The is the lockable side panel and auto fuel mix version. We were able to start the scooter and run it perfectly well at time of consignment. Only for sale due to the old age of the vendor.
