Simon Cowell previously owned 2015 Vespa 946 Bellissima £10,000 - £15,000

A very rare Vespa, only 100 Bellissima models ever produced with only one former keeper - Simon Cowell.

Donated to a charity auction by Simon Cowell and supplied with the certificate of authenticity. This example was donated into the Susan George

charity auction ‘My Things and Others’ run by The Prop Store in February this year, with the donations coming from her close and personal friends. The then 'Lot number 22 - Personal Items' was Simon Cowell's 946 Vespa scooter and was purchased directly at the auction by the partner of our vendor. Presented in Metallic Silver with a Burgundy leather seat, this special edition model has a UK MOT certificate confirming the mileage as only 121km at the time of consignment. Certified authenticity. A truly collectible Vespa.

Only c.121km recorded. Hugely collectible deluxe model seldom seen for sale. Great investment opportunity.

In a dramatic look back to its past styling Piaggio introduced the first 946 models in 2011 as a perfect blend of physical lines and innovation. Dubbed ‘a scooter for the wealthy’ by The New York Times and with a starting price at over $10,000, it was Vespa’s most expensive ever model. The 946 is a combination of the finest industrial materials, craftsmanship and technology. Technical features included ABS, LED headlamp, LCD display, traction control, partial aluminium construction, front and rear disc brakes and hand sewn leather. The motor is a redesigned 3 valve 4 stroke using air cooling and fuel injection and operates with low emissions with its 3 way catalytic converter, to achieve Euro 3 status. Economical at a claimed 155 mpg but yet a powerful 11.6hp ‘twist and go’ scooter. Over the production period there were four limited edition collector runs: Ricardo, Bellissima, Emporio Armani and Red.
