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 and 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 nice example has been owned by our vendor for 5 years and he had never started it. He bought it from VVC club member L. Hale who had acquired it, we understand, from the late Vespa expert Bill Drake. It was ridden at Euro Vespa 1994 in Girona, Spain. The last tax disc is 2008, with the original speedometer reading c.12,469 miles. There are many original parts all over the machine as it is still a standard 125 with original Dellorto carburettor and still 6v on original electronics. A new steering lock and key are supplied with the scooter. Despite the fact that the owner had never previously tried to start it our consultant was able to see the scooter running.
