Vespa Piaggio: The Late 1970s Model

This series of photographs are of Vespa Piaggio of the late 1970's model. This scooter, as you can see in the pictures, is not in a perfect condition, but everything looks original. That is what I like about it.

Piaggio Vespa is the most legendary scooter ever built. Its design is arguably one of the most original and beautiful. To read about the story and origin of this beautiful scooter, please click Piaggio's official publication here.
