Their 98 cc engine made 3 hp, which was enough for a top speed of 60 km / h. For 100 kilometers, the Vespa needed only 2 liters of gasoline. In 1945, a first prototype, called Paperino, was created, which was assembled from surrounding aircraft parts, disc rotor wheels and metal scraps. In April 1946 the patent was applied for and production began in the same year. This Vespa 98 came the long way from Canada to Vienna. There she emigrated with her Italian owner, who also restored her many years ago. Chassis: 10493, Engine: 9507, without papers (without papers).

With the appearance of the PX, the sales figures gradually dropped from 1977 onwards. Today, the Rally 200 is one of the most sought-after models by Piaggio, not least thanks to its performance, its rarity and its reliability. This Vespa Rally 200 is unique in its history and condition. It was delivered in Lower Austria and has run to the present day only 2,407 kilometers. Accordingly impressive is the original condition in which it is still today. Who knows if there is an even better preserved copy of a Rally 200?

Especially the first series models with the tool box on the in the direction of travel spare wheel are now among the most sought after Vespas. This Vespa 50 Super Sprint came from Germany to Austria.
