AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Beautiful Vespa GL150 in original condition.

In what is surely an extremely rare color: Blue (Light Blue) Blu Medio 216. This model was built 100 percent in Italy—and exclusively for export to Sweden.

This model in that color is not often seen in its original paint.

BJ 1965

Frame VLA1T-0757xx

Motor VLA1M

The original motor is installed.

A rarer VDO shell-speedometer / installed on the German T4 and export models.

He starts up and runs healthily. Compression is good.

After a short run, it shuts off. It looks like a carburetor cleaning is due.

Excellent original lacquer in the very rare blue shade.

Rare original helmet hooks under the seat and on the steering column, side impact protection, a luggage rack with a spare wheel, and the rare passenger seat with a backrest.

Wikipedia excerpt:

The Vespa 150 GL (VLA1T) export models for Sweden were delivered in a special color called Blu Medio 216, a light blue shade. The rims and brake drums were originally also painted this color, but were later often painted silver. In addition to the specific color, the Swedish export models also had a special seat color scheme: silvery gray with one side in anthracite, which matched the styling of the German Vespa GS/4. The "Vespa GL" lettering on the leg shield was riveted and not hollow-embossed and glued, as in other models. The chassis number (also called frame number) is an important feature for identifying the Vespa and helps determine the year of manufacture. On the Vespa 150 GL VLA1T this is usually located on the frame, near the handlebars or under the seat. In summary, the Swedish export models of the Vespa 150 GL VLA1T were characterized by the color Blu Medio 216, the seat color scheme, and the method of attachment of the "Vespa GL" lettering.
