A word from Vespa
“Vespa is timeless – it transcends generations, fashion and fads,” says Vespa Managing Director, Andy Reid. “But that doesn’t mean we can’t toast to 70 incredible years with something special.”
A brief history lesson
It was in the spring of 1946 that the first Vespa rolled out of the Pontedera plant in Italy. First designed as a new, economic mode of transport after the Second World War, Vespa has grown into an internationally recognised symbol of commuting.
To date, Vespa has sold more than 18 million units worldwide. Reid’s dream is to increase the number of Vespas on South African roads to create congestion-free cities. He believes The Settentisimo Range is the perfect way to celebrate the birthday of a living legend.
Riding into the future
“70 years on the saddle and it’s just the beginning for Vespa,” says Reid. “Our community continues to grow as more and more people are converted to the unrivalled freedom that comes with owning a Vespa. I hope more South Africans come along for the ride as we continue the journey.”
