1980 Vespa P200E – 2,842 Miles – Excellent Original Condition – Virginia Title

This 1980 Vespa P200E shows 2,842 miles and remains in very good to excellent original condition. Finished in burgundy, the scooter was acquired by the seller in 2026 and has been kept in running, road‑ready condition. Power comes from an air‑cooled 198cc two‑stroke single paired with a four‑speed manual transmission shifted via the left‑hand twist‑grip. The scooter starts easily, runs exceptionally well, and is currently registered in Virginia. Original parts manual in five languages, vintage date adjustable Calander and sales brochure.

Equipment & Features

Factory and period equipment includes dual mirrors, two‑up seat, passenger backrest, center stand, turn signals, working horn, and a full‑size spare wheel mounted beneath the left side cover. Street lighting and the horn are fully functional.

Wheels, Tires & Suspension

The scooter rides on 10-inch steel wheels fitted with Michelin S83 tires, with braking handled by drums at both ends. Suspension consists of a single‑sided trailing‑link front end and a single rear shock, consistent with Vespa’s classic P‑series design.

Engine & Drivetrain

The 198cc two‑stroke produced 12 horsepower when new, delivering power to the rear wheel through a four‑speed manual gearbox. Shifting is performed by rotating the left‑hand grip while operating the clutch lever.

Comments: Classic Vintage Vespa Motors
These are very hard to find in this kind of original condition. This is a 1980 Vespa P200E, now 45 years old, with fewer than 3,000 original miles. It has been exceptionally well preserved and remains in very good original condition. This is not the type of Vespa you would want to repaint or restore—it's far more valuable as an original survivor. Collectors place a premium on scooters that retain their factory paint, original components, and authentic patina. Powered by a 200cc engine, the P200E is fully highway legal and comfortable for longer rides, even with two people. It also comes equipped with the desirable original Tower-brand side cowl guards and the iconic BBQ rear luggage rack. The asking price is $6,800 or best offer, and even at that price it represents a very good value considering its originality, low mileage, and increasingly hard-to-find condition.
