Motovespa from Ciudad, near Madrid had been manufacturing Vespas under license since 1956 broadly manufacturing models in line with the Italian ranges. Many of the parts were supplied from Italy (Piaggio) and France (ACMA) from the beginning and then later models had many Italian Piaggio supplied parts and this did not alter until the last MotoVespas were produced.
The Motovespa 125 was the successor to the previous handlebar 125N and came inline with the Italian VBA specification. It is a fine looking scooter in its own right. This example was recently imported and comes complete with V5C already registered for use on UK roads. There are a number of attractive accessories including a very rare and desirable rear ‘Madrid’ rack of an earlier version which is a highly sought after item. The SA dealer badge is very grand and with front bumper and period side mirror this with some work could be a very nice scooter. The condition is solid and strong all over. The fuel tank spotlessly clean inside. All original keys are present.
