Undoubtably one of the most culturally significant vehicles of all time, the Piagio Vespa democratised two-wheeled freedom and fun.
This delightful 1963 example is the sporty VBB variant that has been badged as a GS and was imported to the UK from Italy around 2018 shortly after some restoration works were carried out. It is in fine condition and only being sold due to the enthusiast and collector looking to downsize his collection.
Without question Vespa’s carry a certain class, especially the more originally styled versions. This vehicle was restored prior to the vendor's ownership which unfortunately is undocumented. The choice of colour is fantastic, a gorgeous pairing of silver and tan brown this scooter could be placed in a museum or in an art gallery so the world could behold its charm. We noticed a minor mark on the scooter which has been photographed, something that shouldn’t be too difficult to sort. lKRaGsbhaXNgI3JQ8ogkrF0OW1AOY4oW0MM3REwu.jpeg393.13 KB
