Vespa GTV 250ie


Italy - scooter - 250cc.

I was never a big fan of scooters (trail & rake & lack of 4-sided frame make for intrinsic instability) but this has to be patted on the back (or seat, or ass, or somewhere) for surviving the tests of time and still looking good. My mother rode one of these through the alps in the 1950’s and she still looks great too so maybe it’s genetics, who knows, but god love the Italians for their devotion to beautiful forms.
