The first version of the Vespa Primavera was unveiled at the 1967 Milan motorcycle show and proved revolutionary: small, agile and propelled by a perky engine the Primavera remained in continuous production until 1982. It became a legendary model and also one of the most spectacular commercial successes in Vespa's history. The Primavera incorporated and combined a number of unique characteristics that had featured on other Vespa models. With previous sport models in mind like the GS, a small body like the Vespa 50 introduced in 1963 and the racing SS90. The Primavera was a fresh new model that particularly appealed to the younger rider. An elegant quick scooter with extraordinary handling that only one who has ridden one can relate to. The standard Primavera remained in production for 15 years.
This example is complete and unmolested. Originally sold new in Great Britain. There has been the obvious over-paint but that is flaking off easily and it could be that the majority of the original yellow paint can be retained. The scooter was sold used by Classically Italian Birmingham in 1992. The buyer used it for 2 years and then stored it in a basement. It has only just resurfaced for the first time since 1994. The scooter is seized. There is a delightful throwback here to the 1980s scooter boy style with its flip flop backrest and overpainting. It is believed that this could be a most interesting and rewarding project.
