The VBC ‘Super’ range of Vespas were the immediate successors to the VNA/VBB range. They had a larger rear light and a more angular modern shape than the VBB. Made from 1965 up until 1979 they were arguably the best selling Vespa scooter of all across the world until the P range. There were numerous changes over the VBB overall including; larger brake shoes and drums and ignition. It was a competent scooter with over half a million sold in the long production run.

This 150 Super was purchased by our vendor around 5 years ago and he has recently had a £500 Vespatronic kit upgraded and fitted with an auxiliary ignition switch (next to the choke lever) by Steve Gregory of the well-regarded VMS (Vintage Motor Scooters). At some point the wheels have been converted to 10 inch and these work well and are fitted with quality Continental tyres. The serial numbers for frame and engine are however correct, so this is not a replacement engine. Nicely presented in gloss black the scooter did start quite easily after 3 years of non-use although a little smoky as the fuel was old. With fresh fuel it should run well in our opinion. Our consultant was able to ride the scooter on the road and all appeared to work as it should.
