The night of July 14th to 15th brought - at least in North Rhine-Westphalia - the worst natural disaster of the post-war period. Almost 180 people have lost their lives, there are numerous missing people and entire areas are devastated. For almost a month, over 5.000 helpers consisting of THW, fire brigade, rescue services, the German armed forces and many volunteers have been on duty to give new hope to the people who have lost everything. Schools, kindergartens, medical practices and pharmacies are only part of the destroyed infrastructure. The damage in Rhineland-Palatinate and North Rhine-Westphalia alone is estimated at around 30 billion. We are pleased that we were able to contribute a tiny part with the auction of the ET3 and that so many bids have been received to come to € 7.351.

We want to say thank you!

Vespa Primavera ET3 (VMB1T)

The Vespa ET3 (VMB1T) is the ultimate evolutionary stage of the Primavera and V50 series. The abbreviation stands for electronica traversi tre, so electronic ignition and three transfer ports. The main focus of the improvements concerns the technology. Visually, it is primarily the lettering, electronic stripes on the front fender and the side panels. The first 1976 models were in the colors Blue Marine, Blue Jeans and Chiaro di Luna metallized Delivered, other colors followed from 1978. The motor has a third overcurrent channel - traverse. The compression ratio was increased from 8,2 to 9,5, which reduced the ignition point from 25 ° to 20 °. The exhaust is strongly reminiscent of that of the SS 50/90 models and is considered the most powerful standard exhaust. The ET3 has over 7 hp at 6.000 rpm and, at 89 km / h, is the fastest 125cc Vespa of its time and, thanks to the built-in electronic ignition, also extremely low-maintenance.

Beautiful patina & matching numbers

The Vespa offered here from 1983 is mostly in the original first paint Blue Marine 275, individual parts in the hatch and the front fender are repainted. Overall, the scooter is in a preservable and with collectors very sought-after original condition. The existing patina contributes to the unique overall condition at.

Technically, the Vespa is also in its complete original condition, but it has been completely revised and all wear parts have been renewed. Frame and engine numbers are matching numbers and begin with VMB1T or VMB1M. Headlights and all other important attachments are original. Only the built-in speedometer is a repro speedometer, as the original Veglia speedometer stopped at 60 km / h. The original speedometer can be revised and is packed in an air cushion in the glove compartment.

A tour of the Vespa is possible by arrangement from Monday to Friday 8 a.m. to 18 p.m.

SC Solidarity Vespa ET3 Primavera

Auction Vespa ET3 - donation for flood victims

It has been a week since the world came to an end around us. Apart from a few full cellars and flooded streets, Cologne was spared the storm. It looks quite different already 30 km away from us: destroyed houses, streets flooded with rubble, entire villages full of mud, cars that have been washed away like toys. North Rhine-Westphalia and Rhineland-Palatinate in particular are struggling with the consequences of the disaster. Many localities are still without electricity, water and telephone. More than 150 people have lost their lives and there are still missing people.

The clean-up work has now started. The solidarity is great and many people help each other. Local aid campaigns have been launched and this is how the official aid workers are supported.

We want to help

We also want to help and have started to overhaul a Vespa 125 ET3, which will be auctioned in support of the flood victims. As you can see, three men are currently working at full speed on the beautiful Vespa Primavera ET3.
The entire proceeds go to community foundations of the Volksbank and Kreissparkasse and thus go directly to the people who have lost everything.

More coming soon - Stay Tuned!
