The VBC had a completely redesigned body and engine which formed the basis for decades of future Vespas. This VBC customisation was created by by Donato Sciaraffa of VesBretta, a specialist Anglo-Italian engineering and import business, and former Director of Trulli Formula E-team and various other high level race teams including Formula 3. The standard of customisation is therefore high and condition is exceptional. Based on a genuine Italian VBC chassis, the scooter has been converted to 10-inch wheels to accommodate a modern PX125 engine which looks in great clean condition. The seat and wheel covers appear excellent. It has the authentic and attractive 1950s styling of the very first Vespas with early 50s type handlebars and a low (faro basso) light on the front mudguard but with the advantage of modern mechanics and 12v electrics. In super condition and offered with V5C and steering lock key. ** Bidding will take place live at the venue, online via our H&H website, by telephone and commission - T&Cs apply** Entry by catalogue and can be purchased for £20 (admits 2 people)
