| Description | 1966 Vespa 90SS V9SS1T *41XX*
This is the rarest and most desirable Vespa made. Only 5309 of the Vespa SS90 was made from 1965 to 1971. It was the factory cut down racer that didn't sell that well in its day making it very rare today.
Few machines command one's attention like a factory spec racer. Vespa's best run at this model was no exception. Playing off the popularity of their 50cc scooters, Vespa introduced the 90SS in 1965. Its main features included the narrower front-end and handlebars, a chromed special exhaust, and the distinctive glove box located where a motorcycle's gas tank usually sits.
The 90SS pretty much has to top the list for its combination of two outstanding factors: availability and desirability. The 90SS is, without a doubt, one of the hardest of all scooters to come across in the US .
I originally bought the scooter from Canada about 12 years ago. ( I have a picture of it still from when I bought it) All parts are original to the Scooter, no aftermarket body parts were bought.
The whole restoration was done myself. The scooter is a 9 out of 10 rating. There is a small chips in the paint on the floor board, and 1 near the bolt head for the kick stand bracket.
100 miles on scooter since I restored it 6 years ago. It has sat in my living room for the past 4 years now.
