The Appeal

Vespa became an icon of style and freedom during the 1950s and 60s, cemented forever in popular culture after Audrey Hepburn famously rode side saddle on a Vespa in Roman Holiday. Today, these classic Italian scooters remain some of the most recognisable and loved machines in the world.

This 1965 Vespa 150 (125cc) perfectly captures that timeless charm. Finished in a stunning Ivory Glide colourway with elegant chrome detailing and classic lines throughout, this scooter offers an authentic vintage riding experience combined with dependable usability. Built for easy-going local rides rather than long-distance touring, it delivers everything a classic Vespa should: simplicity, nostalgia, style, and unmistakable presence.

Whether you are entering the world of vintage scooters for the first time or adding to an established collection, this beautifully restored Vespa is guaranteed to turn heads wherever it goes.

The vendor says:

“This scooter is not just restored – it’s reborn. What you are buying here is peace of mind: a clean, thoroughly checked, risk-free scooter ready to ride. Every one of our scooters is restored by our in-house team of experts with over 40 years of experience. These are genuine grassroots scooterists who own and ride classic scooters themselves and regularly attend UK and international rallies.

Every part of the scooter is carefully inspected during the rebuild process so that only the very best components make it through to become one of our Vintage Metals Original Cool scooters.”
