The GS (Gran Sport) was the culmination of all of the speed racers and trial versions of Vespa that had gone before including the famous ‘Sei Giorni’ factory racers. It was the first mass produced sport Vespa to enter the market. The main VS1 production started at the beginning of 1955 and the ‘Vespone’ or big wasp was a tremendous overall success. A great many of the features experimented on the Sei Giorni racers transitioned to the GS. Larger 10 inch ‘star’ wheels, 4 gears in a 150cc 8 HP engine and a new body design with the machine presented in silver. The VS2 followed in 1956 with very few technical changes save the hidden cables and white speedometer. The leg shield was protected with a chrome trim.

The GS (Gran Sport) was the culmination of all of the speed racers and trial versions of Vespa that had gone before. This VS2 has been treated to a sumptuous combination of original appearance with bold ‘no expense spared’ upgrades to create an astonishing riding machine. The paint was entrusted to leading experts The London Body Shop to an exacting colour spec and the paint is still in superb condition. The engine No: VS2M 17805 was subject to a thorough overall by Retrospective Scooters with AF Rayspeed top end and an upgraded crank. The carburettor is the original with balanced up-jetted fuel inflow. The suspension is an adjustable SIP shock and the exhaust is also a SIP road version. The fuel tank is a high capacity VS1 version accessory. The electronics are uprated to 12v variatronic ignition spec. The speedometer was sent off to global speedometer specialist Speed King in the US to be refurbished and returned as MPH. On close inspection the attention to detail is highly impressive from the floor running end caps to the cabling. The scooter is finished off with a number of choice original accessories including original Ulma wheel discs, original Cavalli GS150 rack and fork cover. The V5C is present.
