Iso Rivolta, based in Bresso, Italy began before World War 2 as a manufacturer of refrigeration units. Post war however, they joined numerous other Italian companies in mobilising the masses. Iso’s first vehicles were small capacity motorcycles however in 1957 they launched their new 150 scooter which blended the style of both Lambretta and Vespa resulting in a very elegant and much revered machine. With a 2-stroke, 4-speed engine and a claimed top speed of 50mph, it’s 3.50×10 wheels were the same size as the best Lambrettas and Vespas of the day. Production ended in 1963.

This super example appears to have been British registered from new. Showing only 2 former keepers since January 1957, we can see from the supplied tax discs and corresponding MOT certificates that it has had gentle but regular use in 2006, 2012 and 2014. On inspection we can see that the scooter is extremely original and there are numerous quality Italian parts including the Dellorto carburettor. The speedometer is the rare original MPH Veglia version with Iso motif on the face displaying only 6,722 miles. The scooter started first kick at time of consignment and sounded very good. It is registered as 125cc. This Iso is as Italian as it is possible to be. Painted in Pistachio Ice Cream Green and with a unique design, you can easily imagine taking this out in the sunshine and looking the part. The V5C present.

This Iso is as Italian as it is possible to be. Painted in Pistachio ice cream green and with a unique design you can easily imagine taking this out in the sunshine and looking the part. Something different and very stylish. There were a number of decorative accessories made for these in the day by the likes of Vigano and Super and these can be found in the collectors market.
