MOT: Exempt

  • Restored and very presentable example
  • Engine overhaul by Matthew Phillips
  • V5C present for use on UK roads

Motovespa from Ciudad, near Madrid had been manufacturing Vespas under license since 1956, broadly manufacturing models in line with the Italian ranges. Here we present a very attractive example that has been the subject of a restoration and a mechanical overhaul by Matthew Phillips, arguably the UK's leading engine expert on wide frame Vespas, using all period and correct parts. It is still a standard and correct V56 ACMA 125 and running on 6v points. As a lovely touch, the scooter comes with its original owner's plaque with the name of Mr Alonso. Our vendor imported it directly from a relative of the original owner from its original home town of Igualada, a suburb of Barcelona.

Our vendor imported it in 2022, in the Metallic Green colour as we see it now. In addition to having it overhauled he has taken it through the UK registration process and it is now ready to enjoy on the road. The scooter appears to consist of almost all of its original parts and includes some attractive accessories. Everything appears to work well and our consultant was able to ride the scooter some distance to confirm this at the time of consignment. A V5C is present for use on UK roads.
