Description
The latest inspection was completed on 2006-07-13, and two years later, the scooter was stored in a heated garage, where it has remained since. Today, the scooter is in the care of a serious enthusiast and authority on Piaggio’s historic scooters in Sweden. He has removed various accessories and restored the Vespa to its original configuration. The accessories, visible in the photos, are included. Additionally, for those nostalgic for original details, there’s a stylish, large two-line registration plate ready to be mounted if desired.

Technical data
Condition
-
Mechanical condition
The engine turns over, starts, and fires up with a splash of fuel directly into the carburetor, but we haven’t wanted to fully start it with fuel in the tank. The carburetor and fuel tap should be properly cleaned, and parts that are necessary, such as the tap seals and the needle valve in the carburetor (which can be affected by long periods of inactivity and modern fuel quality), should be replaced. The jets should be cleaned using either ultrasonic cleaning or compressed air—no steel or copper wires should be used in the jets, as the small tolerances can be damaged by metal impact. The brakes work well, with the relative sharpness typical of older scooters like this one.
-
Interior condition
The scooter still has its original single saddles that it was delivered with, both in excellent condition with the emblems intact. All keys are present and work well with the steering lock and glove compartment lock. The original grips are stylish, with a bit of patina, and the same goes for the rubber seals. The seals between the panels and the body show some aesthetically pleasing dryness but still have their original fit.
-
Exterior condition
The untouched original paint in a beautiful light blue shade called Blu Medio 216 remains intact. The rims and brake drums were also painted in this color when delivered, though today they are silver. Reportedly, this color was exclusive to the export version of the 150 GL sent to Sweden and… Malaysia. For a collector and enthusiast, this is a significant detail—so important, in fact, that according to an authority in the field, this particular example “should be in the Pontedera museum,” referring to Piaggio’s museum in Italy.
We’ve carefully inspected the scooter; the running-in decal, remnants of a factory control sticker just above the engine, and the seams and folds all point to it being the original, untouched paint. The frame number beneath the left side panel is somewhat difficult to read but clear enough for an inspection. -
General condition
A well-preserved scooter in the kind of condition every enthusiast dreams of finding. There are many buyers who are financially motivated yet operate with a flexible conscience, reaching out through various channels, letters, and other crafty methods, claiming they are searching for “just such a scooter” for their collection or because “my father had one like this.” In reality, their intention is a carefully planned business move for resale. If they were just honest about their motives and made it clear, everyone could deal with it accordingly.
That’s why it’s especially satisfying to offer this rare example to the global scooter scene in an open and transparent manner.
