Piaggio is the number one two-wheel-vehicle manufacturer in Europe; its industrial strength still comes from that stroke of genius known as Vespa—the foundation on which Piaggio rebuilt itself from the rubble of World War II. Piaggio is now celebrating the 75th anniversary of Vespa. Looking back, we must say that Vespa has remained absolutely faithful to its original design and mechanical concepts, just evolving bit by bit around the basic original factors: a pressed steel structure integrating frame and body, powertrain (engine and gearbox) in unit with the rear wheel.

To celebrate the Vespa’s 75th anniversary as a true citizen of the world, a new special series, Vespa 75th, has been created for the Vespa Primavera (in 50 and 150cc models) and the Vespa GTS (300cc). The Vespa 75th body, as always in all-steel, is presented in “Giallo 75th,” an original metallic yellow. The rear luggage rack, another distinctive feature of the Vespa 75th, is also chrome-plated: it houses a round bag whose shape replicates the typical spare wheel holder. In technology terms, the Vespa 75th represents the top of the Vespa range: the models of this anniversary version (with 150cc/300cc engine) are equipped with a 4.3” TFT color display, while the fully digital instrument cluster makes the best possible use of the capabilities of the Vespa MIA smartphone connectivity system.

The Autoworld Museum in Brussels, home to one of the world’s largest and most prestigious collections on motoring history, is celebrating Vespa’s 75th anniversary: until 15 August, visitors to the city’s sumptuous Palais Mondial will have the opportunity to admire 75 models of the world’s best-known and best-loved two-wheeler. In a country with more than 5,000 Vespa riders registered with around sixty official Vespa Clubs, the exhibition has been created to pay homage to the most deeply held values of the Vespa, a scooter that has far exceeded its function as a smart and simple means of transport to become a global brand, a symbol of Italian technology and style followed by millions of devotees. 75 of the rarest Vespa models will be on display until August 15 in Brussels. In addition to the Vespa two-wheelers produced in Pontedera, the exhibition presents the rare models manufactured in certain periods in other European countries: at the MISA factory in Jette, Belgium, and in France, Germany, Britain and Spain. The exhibits also include Vespa scooters with sidecars and a number of Ape three-wheelers, as well as the very latest Vespa 946, Vespa Elettrica and the special-edition Vespa 75th, the model brought out to celebrate this important milestone.
