Lot Description:1966 VESPA 125CC SCOOTER
This Vespa 125 Nuova came from Italy to Australia in 1967, where having led a life of five decades with the one owner, including a colour change from silver to orange in the late 1970s. It was treated to a full high-quality restoration in 2019 and today this rare Vespa 125 Nuova shines in the original silver colour just like on the day it left the factory.
This bike is sold unregistered. -
Notes:Two years after the release of the Vespa Small Frame Series the line-up was extended with a 125cc model, the Vespa 125 Nuova. The frame was basically the same as for the Vespa 50, with the side panels being part of the self-supporting chassis construction. The engine was only accessible through a cover and was mounted in a 45° angle. With its 4.8 HP the Vespa 125 Nuova was good for 80 km/h. During its short time production only 17,100 examples were built in three years (1965-1967), until it was succeeded by the Primavera. That is something it benefits from today in its second life as a classic, since rareness has almost always gone hand in hand with desirability.
