By the early 1960’s Vespa Douglas in Great Britain were 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 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 77 kilograms, and the top speed is 93kmh (58mph).

This SS90 is in exceptional condition being almost all original paint. The headset paint has been expertly blended to retain a remarkable patina throughout by paint expert Nathan Warriner, to match the panels. Registered as 1970 but declared manufactured in 1966, original parts have been retained throughout, including the original seat with the cover in superb original condition. All over the scooter the parts appear original, including grips, rubbers, speedometer, Neimann key, scroll badges and electronics. Still on the original 6v the engine, the carburettor and all mechanical parts are original, standard and in full working order. With a V5C present, this is a rare opportunity.
