1974 VESPA Primavera 125 Coca Cola (BM427)
One of three Vespas we acquired from a restorer and collector of these particular Vespa models He is known for total and obsessive restorations. These were located in the Milan area. Subjects of very comprehensive restoration each scooter was first fully dismantled and professionally painted. All the necessary components were replaced, cables, tires ,brakes etc. The engines were opened and all worn parts such as bearings and oil seals were replaced. Sealing faces and cylinders were machined to spec. These are high-level and complete restorations without sparing anything. Everything is documented with a complete photo book where you can see the work done.
The Vespa Primavera remains an enduring symbol of 1970s scooter culture and is highly sought after by collectors and vintage enthusiasts. Precursor to the more sporting ET3, these scoots were peppy enough for urban use and offered very nimble handling. They remain popular offering classic Vespa styling with a streamlined design. The Primavera features a smaller, lightweight and agile design compared to larger Vespa models, making it ideal for urban riders. Known for a stylish and youthful aesthetic that became a cultural phenomenon. They also offered reliable performance with a focus on simplicity and ease of maintenance. A true icon that proved very popular when introduced and maintained its appeal for many year and formed the basis of improved later small frame models.
