About this model
About the Vespa Special 50
The Vespa 50 Special is the angular 50cc small-frame classic from the late 1960s and 1970s. It is recognised by its rectangular headlamp and compact steel body, but exact versions vary by frame prefix, handlebars, gears and market. Always identify it from frame and engine number rather than appearance alone.
The Special 50 is popular as a light classic and is often modified. Buy on a healthy frame, correct 50cc engine, shift quality and the standard of any restoration. Inspect floor, tunnel, welds, wiring and brakes closely; fresh paint can hide old rust or damage.

Before you buy
What to check before buying
- Check frame prefix, frame number and engine code to establish the Special 50 version and year.
- Inspect floor, tunnel, inner wings and welds for corrosion, filler and old damage.
- Test shift cables, clutch and gearbox for smooth engagement; verify displacement against registration and engine code.
- Check carburettor, ignition, seals, brakes, rims, tyres and electrical system for correct parts.
