Here is a 1980 Vespa 100 Sport in original condition, In its factory Piaggio dark green paint. The scooter shows what appears to be just 200 miles—while the seller can’t fully confirm the mileage, it makes sense given the exceptional condition after 46 years. It’s currently offered on Hemmings for $3,900 OBO, which is a fair price for a completely original Vespa.This is a small-frame Vespa, ideal for zipping around town rather than long rides or carrying two riders. It’s perfectly suited for beach areas or short, casual trips. The Vespa shows a bit of wear and natural patina, which not only confirms its age but adds to its character and authenticity

This 1964 Vespa VBB 150 is up for auction on Bring a Trailer, with just a few days remaining. Although not painted in its original factory color, its vintage shade beautifully complements the scooter's classic VBB lines. The VBB is an increasingly desirable model that's becoming harder to find. This VBB features a rebuilt engine with a Pinasco 177cc cylinder and piston kit, delivering considerably more power than the original 150cc setup. That extra performance makes it easier to keep up with modern traffic and even pass it! Whether used as a daily rider or weekend rider, this is a vintage Vespa may fit the bill. The rebuilt engine should provide reliable performance if the work was done properly and maintenance is kept up. One minor detail is the missing rubber trim on the engine-side cowl, an inexpensive fix costing around $15.

1954 Vespa Faro Basso VM2 Offered by the experts at Bello Moto, The term "Faro Basso" means "low headlight," referring to the iconic headlamp mounted on the front fender—a design that has become one of the most recognizable in Vespa history. Ask almost any serious Vespa collector, and if they don't already own a Faro Basso, chances are it's at the top of their wish list. Vespa became a worldwide icon in the 1950s when it starred alongside Audrey Hepburn and Gregory Peck in the classic 1953 Hollywood film Roman Holiday. That unforgettable ride through the streets of Rome helped establish Vespa as a symbol of Italian style, romance, and adventure.This is your opportunity to own one of the most iconic and historically significant Vespas ever produced.

1966 Vespa Primavera 125, originally sold through Sears, Roebuck and Co. and branded as an Allstate. We have many visitors to our site who are always looking for these fast little small-body Vespas, so we add them whenever we find one. The seller says this bike runs but could use a tune-up. These small-body Vespas have become highly collectible with some in the classic Vespa scene, and the 125cc is one of the most desirable for obvious reasons—it’s quick and fun in stock form and can become a little rocket with the addition of some high-performance engine parts. At $2,000, there isn’t much downside here. Buy it now, enjoy some riding this fall, then restore it over the winter and have a fast little classic Vespa ready for spring 2027.

1962 Vespa VBB 150 — Offered by a well-known and trusted classic Vespa restorer. The VBB is highly collectible, with its beautiful round body representing the classic Vespa design just before the scooters became more streamlined. Finished in its factory-correct color, this VBB appears to have been restored to spec, with a few sensible upgrades including 12-volt electrics and a three-port conversion to the original engine for better performance. At under $6,000, this is a very fair deal—clearly, no one is making money here considering the cost of a quality restoration. This is a model that should continue to increase in value and could be a fun investment you can actually ride.

2009 Stella — basically a Vespa PX manufactured by longtime Piaggio partner LML, and one of the easiest ways to get into a classic-style scooter without spending a small fortune. What you’re getting is essentially the proven PX design with some useful modern upgrades, including a fuel gauge, front disc brake, and electric start, for roughly half the price of a comparable Vespa. Even better, the seller says this Stella has a freshly rebuilt engine fitted with a Pinasco 177 cylinder kit and SIP Road 3.0 Chrome exhaust. Those two performance parts alone retail for over $500 and give the scooter a noticeable boost in power and performance over the stock setup. Vintage Italian styling, familiar PX mechanicals, practical upgrades, and an already-built 177cc engine. It’s an easy scooter to buy, enjoy, without having much money tied up in it.

These are very hard to find in this kind of original condition. This is a 1980 Vespa P200E, now 45 years old, with fewer than 3,000 original miles. It has been exceptionally well preserved and remains in very good original condition. This is not the type of Vespa you would want to repaint or restore—it's far more valuable as an original survivor. Collectors place a premium on scooters that retain their factory paint, original components, and authentic patina. Powered by a 200cc engine, the P200E is fully highway legal and comfortable for longer rides, even with two people. It also comes equipped with the desirable original Tower-brand side cowl guards and the iconic BBQ rear luggage rack. The asking price is $6,800 or best offer, and even at that price it represents a very good value considering its originality, low mileage, and increasingly hard-to-find condition.

This 1961 Vespa 150 VBB is finished in what the seller calls “Hawaiian Purple.” Personally, I think the color is a hard sell. Classic Vespas generally look best in their original colors, or at least lighter shades, although this one may appeal to some buyers. We decided to feature it because the VBB 150 is a fantastic classic, with that beautiful, rounded body style before Vespa moved toward more streamlined designs in the mid-1960s. It's currently listed on eBay for $7,130, which I think is completely unrealistic. However, the seller accepts offers, and that's where things may work out. I'd start at $3,500 and wouldn't go over $4,000. Let the seller know your offer stands if it doesn't sell. That purple paint will limit resale appeal and likely slow future appreciation, so you would need to buy it at the right price.

1964 Lambretta Li150 offered by the experts at Bello Moto. Lambrettas are a completely different ride than a Vespa. Both are enjoyable with great handling, but each has its own unique feel and personality on the road. The beautiful two-tone paint scheme looks especially good on a Lambretta — not so much on a Vespa, in my opinion. Innocenti and Piaggio battled for the world scooter market throughout the 1950s, 60s, and into the 70s. While Vespa ultimately came out on top, owning and riding a classic Lambretta is a completely different experience — one that true vintage scooter enthusiasts really appreciate. This Li150 Series III is clean and, from what the experts at Bello Moto suggest, mechanically strong as well. More than fairly priced, this is your chance to own a reasonably priced iconic Lambretta with timeless Italian style and character.

1974 Vespa 150 Super with a sidecar. After carefully reviewing this Vespa, I can confidently conclude it is not an Asian-restored scooter, which we do not feature on our site. If this Vespa interests you, there are only a few corrections worth making, none of them major. The most noticeable would be replacing the engine side cowl with the correct 150 Super cowl and having it professionally painted to match the existing finish, a straightforward job today. The fiberglass sidecar was built in California during the 1980s by the California Sidecar Company and is a nice accessory. While the scooter has its original factory color, the paint is not original. Provided the seller can supply a short video confirming the electrical system and mechanical operation, this could be a worthwhile purchase. The $14,900 asking price is ambitious, but an offer around $10,000 would be a reasonable starting point.

This example has a fully rebuilt engine fitted with a BGM 195 kit, a The TV175 also has an important place in scooter history: Innocenti introduced the Series 3 with a mechanically operated internal front disc brake, making it the first mass-production scooter to feature a front disc brake, remarkably advanced technology for 1962.
