An adorable model in a stunning Anniversary Blue specification, this Piaggio Ape Calessino has the potential to be a sought after classic. Not only is it one of just 999 examples of its kind, it also presents in stunning condition thanks to its total lifetime mileage of just 61km.
The Piaggio three-wheeler is a vehicle that has garnered an international cult following. In fact, its adorable shape and historical significance means it has gone from a cheap taxi to a toy for the rich and famous.
This 2007 Ape Calessino is particularly special being a limited edition car in its specification. Just 999 examples exist in this Anniversary Blue paint with white fabric and leather. And with just 61km on the clock, the current owner believes it to be the lowest mileage example in the world.
After spending its first dozen years in the lap of luxury being used as a golf course runabout in the Italian mountains, it now resides in the UK where it is fully registered and road legal. A long MOT and a fantastic overall condition mean this must be an attractive proposition for those aiming to get their hands on an appreciating asset.
