I have owned for 21 years a 1978 Piaggio Vespa Rally 200 that I bought in 2003 from my brother-in-law. He owned it from 1988 and rarely ever rode it.
I have never ridden it myself, except for one trip up and down his driveway the day I bought it. I've never even registered it. I have the signed pink slip
and can register it at any time, but not having a motorcycle license, Inever did.
I've kept the scooter in a room inside my house all this time.
It has 10,800 miles since new. Still in its original burnt orange paint, every part of the bike is original, never restored or altered in any way. Never crashed or dented in any way. one or two scratches here and there, but no dents.
Vehicle # 29292
I brought it home, removed the engine that same week in 2003, placed it on a tray, unbolted enough parts from the body that I could repaint the entire body but never did. I bought the correct 2-part paint from PPG three years ago ($184) and have it here but never painted any part. Instead I kept all the parts next to the scooter, ready to put back on. Bought a new battery 3 years ago, and which is still in its box.
There is a metal tray next to the bike and EVERY other part is in that tray - every nut, bolt, fitting etc. The seat is perfect, no spits or tears and is the original from the factory.
It's dead-easy to re-assemble, because everything is here with the bike. No engine overhaul is necessary - it has super low-mileage. I bought several new body dressings, like new chrome trim to go around the body shell, a passenger chrome grab bar assembly, floor mats and rubbers but never did install them.
I attach a few photos here and can take more as required.
I'm asking $4500 firm. I don't need to tell you how valuable this model is.
Many thanks for reading my ad.
