• Believed Italian built

• Engine turns

The VBA/VBB range of Vespas were the immediate successors to the long running ‘handlebar’ scooters of the 1950’s and had cast handlebars like the GS. The VBA had a completely redesigned body and engine which formed the basis for decades of future Vespas. The engine was a rotary inducted design which improved reliability and fuel consumption whilst requiring less oil in the fuel mix. The carburettor was relocated to a position just above the engine. The whole package was a much more professional looking machine whilst retaining many similar features of the desirable lines of the GS. The VBB replaced the VBA in 1960 and increased the gears from 3 to 4 whilst also making some aesthetic improvements to the look including an attractively shaped clam shape speedometer, alloy leg shield border and GS style rear light. Today the VBB is an appealing Vespa and an appreciating model.

This VBB is believed to be Italian built but due to the speedometer layout it has almost certainly been re-imported from the Far East. It is complete and the engine turns and its still standard on 6v electronics. The chassis number could be made clearer with more work. Offered for sale with no reserve.
