"The history behind this Vespa is as captivating as its excellent condition. Sometimes, as inspectors, we develop a fondness for a vehicle. But we must remain composed and put on our scrutinizing glasses. After a thorough examination, the verdict is clear: no major issues found! The few stone chips and minor scratches on some aluminum trim seem less significant."

Description

This Vespa has had 7 owners since it was first registered. Since the 1980s, it has been owned by only 3 individuals. Upon close inspection of the scooter, it's evident that each owner has truly cherished their Vespa. The fact that a previous owner in Nyköping, who happened to be a watchmaker, installed a clock that looks almost factory-made, feels completely natural. As we review the accompanying inspection documents, we notice the name "Sportiga Marie" on the cover of the folder. The explanation is simple: that's the Vespa's name. It was named after Cornelis Vreeswijks' song "Sportiga Marie." The current owner is a genuine Vespa enthusiast and a member of the Skoghall Scooter Punx club. In 2015, he took over the responsibility of caring for "Sportiga Marie." He has taken exceptional care of her. According to the odometer, she has covered 4500 Swedish miles. However, the condition does not reveal her mileage. In 2017, the Vespa underwent a thorough technical overhaul. It's a rarity for a motorcycle to feature its own spare wheel, in a specially designed compartment. This clever feature is present in this Vespa. The motorcycle was last inspected by the vehicle inspection authority in 2018 and is now exempt from inspections under the vintage vehicle regulations. On the front cover of the accompanying folder, there's a message for future owners. See image.

Condition

  • Mechanical condition:

    The scooter starts very easily and produces the right sound. It's equipped with a 12-volt electrical system. The engine underwent a comprehensive overhaul following all the proper procedures about 5 years ago. Please refer to the owner's comment for more details. There are no technical issues to report.

  • Interior condition:

    Neat and proper under the saddle, by the spare wheel, and in the front storage compartment. Please refer to the provided images for reference.

  • Exterior condition:

    Nice and unusually well-maintained paintwork, reportedly done in the 1970s. There are a few minor marks and stone chips that have been touched up with paint. The front fender has a few more marks than the rest of the body, but nothing that disturbs or detracts from the overall appearance. Please refer to the images provided. New saddle of the correct design.

  • General condition:

    Very good overall impression. Considering its age and mileage, the condition is remarkably excellent.

Owner's comment

Det låter som du har gjort omfattande och noggranna renoveringar på Vespan, särskilt med tanke på motorn och andra delar. Att ha kört ca 100 mil efter motorrenoveringen indikerar att den är i gott skick och redo för användning. Att du även deltog i Vespa World Days i Tyskland 2017 visar på ditt engagemang som Vespa-entusiast. Att bevara originaldelar som den tidigare sadeln och kopplingen är också en fin detalj som kan vara av intresse för samlare och bevarare av klassiska fordon. Sammantaget verkar du ha tagit väl hand om Vespan och utfört nödvändiga renoveringar för att hålla den i körbart skick och behålla dess charmiga karaktär.

Facts about the model

Vespa 180 SS är en klassisk italiensk scooter som tillverkades av Piaggio mellan 1964 och 1968. Den designades som en sportigare version av Vespa 150 Super, men med en större motor och en toppfart på cirka 120 km/h. Modellen var populär för sin stilrena design och prestanda och är än idag eftertraktad av samlare och entusiaster.
