By far and away Piaggio's most famous product is the Vespa motor scooter. Forbidden by the Allies from resuming his aviation business, Enrico Piaggio instructed his chief designer Corradino d'Ascanio to design a scooter, for which he believed a potential market existed, particularly among women. Millions have been made since 1946 and countless different versions come and gone, yet today's Vespa remains recognisably related to the first one made over 60 years ago. Over the years Piaggio's empire has expanded considerably, and the group now owns the Aprilia, Derbi, Gilera, and Moto Guzzi brands. Although its best known, the Vespa was not Piaggio's only two-wheeled product, being built alongside others such as the Bravo moped, which was also sold under the Vespa brand name. This apparently original and complete Bravo is offered for restoration and sold strictly as viewed. There are no documents with this Lot.
