Lot details
Registration No: Unregistered

Only 10 miles since restoration
Bought for our vendors daughter who never used it
Electric start
Has NOVA and dating certificate for registration purposes
Bajaj Auto established in 1945 began importing Vespas directly from Italy into India from the mid 1950s. In the 1960s Bajaj obtained a license from Piaggio to build Vespas under license. In 1971 when the Piaggio license was not renewed Baja launched its own Vespa 150. Based on the 1960’s Italian design similar to the VBB.

This example is in a state of almost ‘brand new’. After a fresh restoration it was purchased in 2019 on a whim by our vendors daughter who liked the Porsche paint design but she never rode it. It was MOT’d at the time in readiness together with the supplied NOVA to get it registered but it was soon forgotten in the business of life and covered over in a dry garage until now. It has the advantage of 12v electronics and 10 inch wheels.

With a completely brand new LML 125cc engine (only 10 miles from new we understand) which is started by an electric starter (the red start button is positioned under the light control switch) this may well suit a rider who prefers not to have to use a kick-start. The paint is in exceptionally good condition and we were able to see the electric starter functioning as can be seen in the accompanying video. The scooter however will need a light petrol service as it has been stationary since 2019. Registration as a 125 learner legal scooter should be formality with a new dating certificate.
