The first Vespas, designed by aeronautical engineer Corradino D'Ascanio, were produced by Piaggio in Italy in 1946 and proved to be an immediate success, helping the country to get back on its feet after the devastation of WW2. Upon seeing the MP6 prototype for the first time, boss Enrico Piaggio exclaimed "It looks like a wasp!" effectively naming his new scooter on the spot.
In an unbroken production run starting in 1946 and ending with the PX Disc range in 2017 over 10 million Vespas have been sold making it one of the most popular motor vehicles ever produced. The steel-bodied, geared, two-stroke PX range released in 1977 is the ultimate expression of this design classic. Featuring the same fundamental design principles as the original 98 but now incorporating numerous modern enhancements including electric start and hydraulic disc braking later in production, it remains a functional workhorse that remains a common sight on most Italian streets. Production finally ended in 2017 as the two-stroke engine failed to meet Euro 4 compliance emission requirements.
This 125cc example of the Vespa PX is a 2005 year ‘disc’ model, which is considered by many to be of far finer build quality than some of the later examples produced. First delivered to a Northern Irish Piaggio Dealer, it remained unregistered with the DVLA until 2017 when it was acquired by a private collector. After several years on static display, this effectively brand-new machine is now surplus to requirements, as the vendor also has another delivery mileage example. Displaying just 4 miles on the odometer, it is said to be in ‘excellent running order’ as you’d expect from a brand new machine and is supplied with its UK V5C registration document.
