By the early 1960s, Vespa Douglas, in Great Britain, was importing Italian-built Vespas as opposed to continuing to manufacture them. The Vespa SS90 made between 1965 and 1971 is much sought after by collectors due to its extreme rarity and only just over 5000 were produced. Most of these have been lost to the ravages of time and overly ambitious riders. The SS90 was developed as a sporting variant of the small-frame Vespas. With a dummy fuel tank, a centrally located spare wheel, narrower and more aerodynamic fairing and a pad on top of the dummy tank riders could crouch low behind the headlight to reduce drag at higher speeds. The two-stroke 88.5cc engine used in the Super Sprint is a single-cylinder, air-cooled unit with a bore/stroke of 47/51mm and an 8.7:1 compression ratio. It’s paired with a 4-speed gearbox, the dry weight is 77kg, and the top speed was given as 93kmh (58mph).

This Super Sprint is being offered, indirectly, from the estate of the late Eric Tudor’s ESP Scooters collection. Having been won by a student in an Aspire competition, the scooter sale is being sold in order to finance university study.
