The Rally 200 made between 1972 and 1979 is much sought after by collectors due to its excellent and powerful performance coupled with attractive lines. Just over 41,700 were produced. The Rally also known as 'the Queen of Vespas' was a large performance step up from the earlier models of the 1960s. The 180 versions were well-received for their performance and appearance. The 200 was similar to the Rally 180 but with a larger capacity cylinder capable of producing over 10hp and crankcase modifications were made necessary to accommodate that. There was also a new Femsatronic electronic unit and the Rally 200 was produced in a range of vibrant colours in tune with the fashions of the 1970s.

This extremely presentable example was purchased by our client when he lived in the Netherlands and imported by him when he moved back to the UK. In 2010 it was subject to a bare metal respray, zinc coated and sprayed in the correct Silver colour. The full restoration was done by the renowned Gran Sport Scooters. The original engine was kept standard and many original parts were retained including the KMH speedometer. At the time of consignment, the scooter was seen running extremely well and our consultant was able to ride it on the road where ‘it ran superbly’. The scooter is also supplied with the original Piaggio wheel rims. It is an extremely good example of a Rally 200 in our opinion.
