Highlights

Only 76 kilometres since restoration
Restored by a former bodywork specialist in 2020
Rare Vespa sidecar that can carry three people

The plus

It's not something you see very often. And that's because the classic 50cc Vespa lacks the power to move a sidecar - let alone two extra passengers. But this is no ordinary Vespa, it's the coveted 125cc model - offering enough performance to handle that rare and charming sidecar.

Restored in 2020 by a former bodywork specialist, this 1965 Piaggio Vespa has covered just 76 kilometres since then, keeping it in excellent condition. Registered in France, it works well and is ready to be used. This is an opportunity not to be missed.

History and documents
