The plus

While the Vespa is universally recognised as an iconic symbol of Italy, it has also won a loyal following throughout Europe. Between 1952 and 1962, the French company Ateliers de Construction de Motocycles et Accessoires (ACMA) manufactured Vespa bikes under licence, and it's one of these rare models that we're presenting to you today.

This 1959 model is a 125N, with a configuration virtually identical to the models produced in Italy. The seller assures us that this scooter has benefited from a meticulous restoration, carried out by dedicated professionals, and that it has been meticulously maintained ever since.

Ready to ride or display, this Vespa is an opportunity not to be missed.

BEFORE YOU BUY

This sale is subject to Car & Classic's terms and conditions. By bidding and/or placing a bid, you also agree to the following:

✓ The seller is registered as a private seller, which means that consumer rights arising from European consumer protection legislation do not apply. However, you are still covered by Car & Classic's terms and conditions.

✓ We ask that a non-refundable fee is paid if you are the lucky winner of the auction or if your bid is accepted. Please refer to our FAQs and terms and conditions for specific fees.

✓ This vehicle is "sold as is", on an "as is, where is" basis and without warranty. Photographs and descriptions are for illustrative purposes only and it is customary to carry out a full vehicle inspection prior to purchase for your own peace of mind.

✓ VAT is included in the buyer's deposit. VAT may or may not be included in the final offer or tender price, as specified in the advert.

✓ We want the transaction to go as smoothly as you do, which is why UK-registered cars and motorbikes offered for sale on Car & Classic are HPI checked to ensure they have no insurance database markers for damage or theft, and are not financially pledged, allowing you to bid with confidence.

✓ We also check whether vehicles are registered as written off as part of a total loss at the time the advert is placed on Car & Classic and provide write-off category labels (Cat C/D/S/N) to help you. However, the presence or absence of a label does not guarantee the status of the vehicle and it is always worth carrying out a full vehicle history check before making an offer on it.

✓ Buyers are responsible for the collection or delivery of the vehicle. Importing vehicles may incur additional customs duties and import taxes. If you wish, we can recommend a third party transport company who can assist you. For more details and to speak to the team, email [email protected].
