Only 7,000 of this Vespa U were produced, and so today it is among those scooters most sought after by collectors.
It was launched in 1953 as an “economy” model, the “U” standing for “utility”, and its price to the public of 110,000 lire was intended to offset competition by Lambretta.
For the first time, a Vespa aimed at the Italian market mounted the headlight on the handlebars rather than on the front mudguard.
