The Rally also known as the queen of Vespas was a large performance step up from the earlier models of the 1960’s. With classic lines, the Rally is considered to be the last of the ‘real metal’ large engined Vespas. This customisation was created by Martin Murray, known for his impressive show-winning scooters. The scooter chassis is a genuine Rally 180 first registered in the UK on 26th September 1972. The engine is an early P200 engine, almost identical to the late Rally 200 engines. The remarkable Blue Metalflake paintwork and graphics were done by Pageant and the chromed engraving by Pete Robinson. The innovative hollow stitched seat which doubles up as the fuel tank was made and supplied by PLC Corse.
We were able to see the scooter running and our consultant rode it for some distance, with full working functionality, at time of consignment. Needless to say a customisation of this standard, together with the original parts used, would come with a substantial price tag and the generous estimate represents superb value in our opinion. V5C and ready to go.
