Piaggio began making two-wheelers after the war, and Vespa scooters have been made from 1946 to the present day.

The vendor advises us that this is a prototype 'Polini' scooter, adapted for off-road use. Polini are a company specialising in making tuning and performance parts for Piaggio machines. There is no documentary evidence for this, and prospective bidders must satisfy themselves as to the authenticity of this machine prior to bidding.

This scooter features a bracing strut from the saddle tube to the steering column, a tachometer, cast alloy wheels, disc brakes front and rear, and a steering damper. It is fitted with off-road tyres, and will undoubtedly acquit itself well on the dirt. A key is present, but there are no documents, and it will require re-commissioning prior to use. Whilst the engine turns, its mechanical condition is unknown, and it is sold strictly as viewed.

Footnotes

As with all Lots in the Sale, this Lot is sold 'as is/where is' and Bidders must satisfy themselves as to the provenance, condition, age, completeness and originality prior to bidding.
