VESPA FARO BASSO (IC-145)
In the early 50s, the scooter market was very competitive in Italy, and Piaggio made changes to their scooters virtually every model year. This ‘51 has some of the hallmarks of the early designs - most notably the open motor cowling and exposed motor fan cover. It is a very interesting design feature that was deleted on later versions. We think it really draws the eye to the motor and accentuates the curves of the body. The design is elegant and timeless.
These early 50’s scooters were not originally sold in the US, and are getting very difficult to find even in Europe. This scooter was restored in Italy before we acquired it, and looks extremely nice.
