The Appeal

Step back in time with a true icon of Italian style — the 1970’s Vespa. With its classic lines, chrome detailing, and unmistakable vintage charm, this scooter isn’t just a ride, it’s a statement. Fully restored to a beautiful finish, it blends timeless design with dependable performance. Whether you're reliving the Mod era or starting your vintage scooter journey, the Vespa offers pure nostalgia on two wheels - ready to turn heads wherever you go.

The vendor says: 

This scooter is not just restored - it's reborn. Riding a 1970’s Vespa is a nostalgic and fun experience, blending classic scooter charm with solid performance. Despite the 125cc engine, it provides enough power for zippy acceleration and a comfortable top speed, making it ideal for city commuting and leisurely rides. The lightweight design and compact frame make it highly manoeuvrable, offering smooth handling in tight spaces and traffic.
