1964 Vespa 150s | Inverclyde

A 1964 Vespa 150s, part of Vespa's long-running 150 cc range. The model is known for its pressed-steel body, which wraps around the engine and runs into a flat floor and a front shield. That gives it a clean, rounded outline that reads clearly on camera. This one is white with brown trim, a warm, restrained pairing that sits easily against brick, stone and painted shopfronts. The small body leaves room in shot for the street around it, and the smooth panels pick up light cleanly. Period Italian street scenes and 1960s-set film and television work suit its shape and date. Fashion and editorial shoots can use the pale paintwork as a quiet backdrop to clothes, while advertising and event displays gain a compact prop that fits small stands. A wedding arrival or a birthday outing also works well. The scooter is based in Glasgow, Inverclyde.
