The Appeal
The Piaggio Ape is a three wheeled light commercial vehicle marketed as an adaptation to their Vespa scooter. The name ‘Ape’ was chosen as it mimicked the hardworking translation of Bee to the Vespa’s translation of Wasp. The Ape 50 with a 49.8cc engine was capable of carrying 175 -205 kg whilst the most recent Ape 50 is capable of 85 mpg.
You’d have to have a heart of stone to look at this funky looking tricycle and not crack a smile. That’s what the current owner has leaned into, a fun, quirky, interesting and joy inducing little scooter was just what was ordered, and we think you’ll agree they’ve hit the mark perfectly.
This Ape was previous used on an airbase where a wealthy individual spotted it and in true wealthy individual fashion stated they wanted it, no matter the cost. The Ape’s airbase past is referenced by a decal on the front windscreen. The Ape was eventually passed on this the current owner who has lavished it with time and attention turning it into a matching set for their other Vespa with the Emporio Armani badges and Matt green paint. With a house move due on the cards soon the decision has been made to let the Piaggio go.
The History and Paperwork
- The Piaggio has been a fun vehicle that has not been driven any serious distance
- It has had an MOT check every year
- Current MOT expires 28.06.2023
- There is a full V5C and a registration document for the import of the scooter in 2018
The Interior
- Leather seat pads are in good condition, some minor cracking to the leather which could possibly be alleviated with some leather feed products
- All electrics are reported to be working inside the small cabin
- Both windows work on levers
- Original jack
The Exterior
- Recent full respray in Matt green with Emporio Armani badges to match the special edition collaboration between the fashion house and Vespa
- Fantastic condition bodywork with only a few minor chips on the load bed wall (photographed)
- Wheels in excellent condition, the tyres have plenty of tread left with some minor cracks in the sidewalls
- Bodywork is all in good order and is straight and free from any obvious defects or dents
- This is a fantastic looking thing that makes you want to jump in and have a blast
- The right-hand side door was missing some parts to enable its function and was held in by a strap to keep it closed. The owner reports that it will be an easy fix with the correct part.
- All electrics were reported to be working around the exterior too
The Mechanics
- The Piaggio is a utility scooter first and foremost despite its high society makeover and everything is designed to get you back and forth with as little fuss as possible
- The 49cc engine sounded in good health when we were on the photoshoot as you can see in the video
- Whilst the Piaggio wasn’t assigned daily duties, it has been well cared for by the current owner and everything was working as intended at the time of the photoshoot
- The scooter allowed for good access underneath and as a result we could capture some good photos of its underside condition, including the powerplant
- The underside was in good condition and the few components there are involved in the Piaggio were all visually looking in good condition
Summary
If you’ve looked through the photos, watched the video and you don’t want to have this little tricycle in your driveway just to smile every time you see it, then you might need to check your pulse. Whilst these vehicles have an important and more utilitarian purpose around the world, this one’s job is pure fun whilst also still being able to do what it was designed for. Whether used for shows or to pop down the Co-op for a pint of milk, you’ll be laughing all the way there and back.

Come funzionano le offerte massime
Il processo di offerta massima ti permette di fare offerte senza preoccupazioni.
Inserisci la tua offerta massima e il sistema farà offerte automaticamente per assicurarsi che tu sia il miglior offerente - fino all'ammontare da te stabilito come tetto massimo.
Anti-sniping
Car & Classic contrasta il fenomeno dello “sniping”, ovvero il fenomeno dei rilanci all'ultimo secondo per vincere l'asta.
Se viene fatta un'offerta nei 3 minuti prima della chiusura dell'asta, la scadenza di questa viene automaticamente estesa di 2 minuti per permettere agli altri offerenti di reagire e, se lo desiderano, di rilanciare.
Incrementi di offerta automatica
- Se la sua offerta massima è uguale o inferiore al prezzo di riserva, la sua offerta massima sarà applicata per intero se lei è il miglior offerente.
- Se siete il miglior offerente e fate un'offerta massima superiore a quella di riserva, la riserva verrà automaticamente inserita come prima offerta.
-
- Una volta raggiunta la riserva, Car & Classic si assicurerà che tu sia il miglior offerente utilizzando solo gli incrementi di offerta indicati di seguito.
- Vi terremo in testa fino alla vostra offerta massima O all'incremento più vicino alla vostra offerta massima, a condizione che la vostra offerta massima sia sufficiente a coprire il valore dell'incremento.
| Ammontare dell'offerta | Incremento |
|---|---|
| Da £0 a £9,999 | £100.00 |
| Da £10,000 a £49,999 | £250.00 |
| Da £50,000 a £99,999 | £500.00 |
| £100,000 + | £1,000.00 |
Superamento immediato dell'offerta
Quando piazzi un'offerta massima e questa viene immediatamente superata, questo significa che un altro offerente ha impostato una soglia di offerta massima superiore alla tua.
Puoi fare nuovamente un'offerta o impostare una soglia più alta di offerta massima e il nostro sistema rilancerà fino alla nuova soglia, cercando di portarti a essere il miglior offerente.
Offerte massime di pari ammontare
Quando ci sono due offerte massime di pari ammontare, quella impostata per prima è quella che viene considerata “migliore offerta”.
Pre-autorizzazione
Potremmo trattenere un piccolo importo di pre-autorizzazione sulla tua carta fino alla fine dell'asta, quando quest'ultimo verrà poi stornato. Se vinci, verrà prelevata una caparra che verrà detratta dal pagamento del prezzo di vendita per il veicolo e non comporta costi aggiuntivi per te.
Cosa sono le Offerte pre-asta?
Offerte pre-asta significa che avete la possibilità di fare offerte prima dell'inizio ufficiale dell'asta.
Verrà comunicato se si è il miglior offerente o meno all'inizio dell'asta.
Problema con l'offerta
Le offerte sono contrattualmente vincolanti. Per tutelare l'utente, sono previste alcune regole nel caso in cui si ritenga che sia stato digitato in modo errato. Si prega di controllare e modificare quanto inserito.
