WHAT EXACTLY IS VINTAGE VESPA?

What started out as an idea to help the Italian people to travel easily and affordably way back in 1946 turned into a giant in the motorcycling industry as well as being a fashion icon? Its 70-year tenure in the industry has led Vespa to produce a large number of different Vespa models and now have vintage Vespa parts. Introduced to the public on April 1946, the 1946 Vespa 98 was the strong foundation that appealed to the masses. The unique shape that resembled a ‘wasp’ (hence the name Vespa, which is ‘wasp’ in Italian) has stood the test of time. Vespa even turned one of the 98 into a racer known as the Vespa 98 Corsa Circuito.
