Description

For reasons of age, I am selling, with a heavy heart, my long-time reliable companion.

I have owned the Vespa since 1968 as its 2nd owner; it has been ridden relatively little and was also laid up for several years, which explains the low mileage of 11300 km.

It is in very well-maintained condition and is largely in its original state.

It was restored in 2010 and the following parts were replaced:

  1. Completely repainted in white by a specialist company.

2 defective wiring harnesses replaced.

  1. Gearshift, clutch and brake cables completely replaced.
  2. New tires and battery.
  3. Seat cover replaced by an upholsterer.
  4. Various small parts and rubber parts replaced as required.
  5. Additional various spare parts and special tools.

The original owner's manual (somewhat worn) and a Vespa workshop manual, as well as the Classic Vespa catalogue, are included. Also included are exploded diagrams of each assembly with the corresponding parts lists.

Additionally, if desired, I can offer a hydraulic lift specifically for the Vespa; it is mobile and can be rotated 360°.

The Vespa has German vehicle documents and will be handed over with a new main inspection valid until 09/2028.

This is a private sale; therefore, no warranty or guarantee.

Payment in cash upon collection.
