It comes down to some simple economics.

 

Vietnam has the world’s last stockpile of vintage Vespa’s and due to a series of political and economic developments they’re now available to the rest of the world.

 

During the 1950’s and 1960’s Vespa’s were imported from Italy however from the 1970’s until the late 1990’s Vietnam’s economy had been difficult to access for most western countries.

 

Today the vintage Vespa stockpile is running out so if you do want one then we suggest that you get in quick before they’re all gone.
