1965 Vespa VBB2T, 150cc. Registration number HVK 755C. Frame number VBB2T *265852*. Engine number VBB2M *240545*.
The Piaggio industrial group were devastated by WWII and post war were not allowed to build aircraft, instead they helped mobilise the Italian public with a new transport concept, the scooter. During trials the buzzing noise of the engine and body shape combined for the scooter to be christened the ‘Vespa’ the Italian translation for wasp. From the launch in 1946 it was such a success that it has become a symbol of taste, fashion and style and is one of the favourite global design icons of all time. The 150 cc VBB replaced the VBA in 1960.
HVK was first registered with DVLA in 2018 by Allan Ball and has been subject to a complete restoration along with the addition of period style accessories such as luggage racks, petrol can and leather luggage. It has covered 444 miles since the restoration.
Sold with the V5C, keys and workshop manual, it will need recommissioning due to lack of use.
