The Vespa has evolved from a single model motor scooter manufactured in 1946 by Piaggio & Co. —to a full line of scooters and one of seven companies today owned by Piaggio.
Vespa's largest market by all measures globally is still Italy, but as a result of the mod subculture that developed in the 1960s, the United Kingdom is still Vespa's second largest global market—and at one point in the 1960s, its largest. The appeal of the Vespa to the style-conscious mods was the weather protection.
In recent years, many urban commuters have purchased new or restored Vespas. A shortage of available parking for automobiles in large urban areas and the Vespa's low running costs are two reasons for the increase in Vespa.
This image will be a favorite for the reminiscing mod to the modern urban commuter. The image is printed on a steel sign and can be displayed interally or externally.
This would act a a great nostalgic gift for someone celebrating a 50th birthday or 60th birthday.
