It was a Vespa that under the rules of the Highway Code, in 1963, could be driven without plates and without a license from the age of 14. The Vespa 50 was the last scooter designed by Corradino D'Ascanio and the 50cc is a landmark in Vespa history: from 1964 to the present more than 3 million have been manufactured.

    The Super Sprint 90 was undoubtedly the most original design by Vespa. The shield was reduced in size and the top box objects where placed between the seat and handlebars. The spare wheel, like the Vespa GS 1955, was housed within the centre of the footrest platform. The 90 SS, like the Vespa 50, is among the most sought after models, and real collector's item.
