1979 VESPA RALLY 200 (#C12) Offered at $9,495

The Vespa Rally 180 replaced the Super Sport as the top of the line sporting model in the late 1960’s and is regarded as one of the best ever Vespa models offering classic style and modern performance. The Rally 180 was updated in 1974 to 200cc and 12.5 horsepower and these Vespas are highly sought after. This one is a very good example with an attractive Aqua/Creme color combination.
