The Vespa P range was launched in 1977 in Milan as the nuova linea model (new line). A hugely successful model for Piaggio for almost 40 years. The P range now stands as the last ‘classic’ Vespa range produced. With a newly designed and more angular chassis than all that had preceded it, it soon had integral indicators, electronic ignition and a much larger headlight than the Rally, the range it superseded. Several versions came and went and upgrades over the years included 12v electronics, automatic fuel mix, lockable side panels and disc brakes. But the end of the line was near with Euro 3 compliance standards ramping up against 2-stroke motorcycles and a catalytic converter was added from 2010 to prolong the life of the range. However, this wasn’t enough and production of the PX ended completely in early 2017 as the engine would fail to meet Euro 4 compliance emission requirements.

This ‘new’ late edition model in Piaggio ‘Midnight Blue’ is completely as it came out of the factory. We do not believe it has ever had fuel in it as the tank was spotless clean and dry. It was purchased by our vendor from a local car auction and no details or documents were provided with it. We have since done our own investigations and have concluded it is a British market Vespa due to the side mirrors script and the presence of the UK size registration plate holder which was still in its original packaging. We have also conducted a HPI check based on the chassis and the machine comes up with no reported misdemeanours on the system. The mystery may never be solved but this is a quite unrepeatable and extraordinary find. We note that even the bar code and factory control stickers are still present as is the protective film over the leg shield protectors. It comes with the full brand new owner's pack complete with tools, manuals, guarantee books and keys. No attempt has been made to start it!
