The Vespa Rally 200 made between 1972 and 1979 is much sought after by collectors due to its excellent and powerful performance coupled with attractive lines. Just over 41,700 were produced. The Rally also known as the queen of Vespas was a large performance step up from the earlier models of the 1960’s. The 180 versions were well received for their performance and appearance. The 200 was similar to the Rally 180 but with a larger capacity cylinder capable of producing over 10hp and crankcase modifications were made necessary to accommodate that. There was also a new FEMSA electronic unit and the Rally 200 was produced in a range of vibrant colours in tune with the fashions of the 1970s.

Here we present an astonishingly original example. As a USA specification model, it was imported from there into the UK in 2019. It was MOT’d then and our vendor has owned it since then and has never used it. As a US model it has its original MPH speedometer and comes with the indicators, mirrors and protruding rear light. These have been removed as a matter of taste but are included and could be easily reinstalled, the rear light being replaced with an Aprilia version is the only change that has been made to the entire machine. The fuel system is the US spec Autolube fuel mix. The scooter also has a rear rack with a backrest in a style which was only available in the US market. The petrol tank is clean and like new inside. Of course all keys are present as is the original tool kit. We could not see any non-standard or replacement part. Showing 8,569 miles on the odometer, we feel this is genuine. An utterly original time warp.
