The GL150 was launched in 1962 and manufactured up until 1965. It was a popular machine with almost 80,000 units sold worldwide. A larger bodied scooter with 10-inch wheels it could achieve 6.5 HP and a top speed of 59 MPH. The engine installed in this scooter is a 150cc Sprint engine which has been fully overhauled by Disco Dez Scooters at a cost of around £2000. An itemised invoice is included.

Our vendor has been a thorough and careful owner of this scooter. Following purchase in 2017 he immediately began restoration and registration having it repainted in the correct shade of Piaggio white. In 2022 he decided to have the engine completely restored and it has done very little since, still needing running in and sounding like a new unit. Showing only 1284 kilometres on the original Veglia speedometer, all keys are present. It retains original 6V electrics with an additional 12V battery for the rear indicators. The seat has a nice original feel to it, and since our visit the vendor has had the front hub repainted and changed the rear light unit to another original SIEM unit as he was unhappy with the paint effect and wanted to present the scooter in the best possible condition. He has also installed a new speedo drive which is connected up and working. These upgrades can be seen in the last of the pictures. The scooter started easily and sounded in fine running order as can be seen in the accompanying video. Offered with a letter and Certificate of Origin direct from Piaggio in Italy, a dating certificate from the Veteran Vespa Club and itemised invoice.
