Description from the seller
PIAGGIO VESPA 125 V14T “BACCHETTA” from 1950.
Rare and prestigious Vespa 125 V14T “Bacchetta”, one of the most iconic models of Vespa’s early production. Built by Piaggio in the years of Italian reconstruction, it represents an authentic testimony to the birth of the scooter that would revolutionize European mobility.
The name “Bacchetta” comes from the characteristic external gear lever, a distinguishing feature of the early Vespa models. Equipped with a 125 cc two-stroke single-cylinder engine, it combines mechanical simplicity, reliability, and an unmistakable style that still fascinates collectors and enthusiasts around the world today.
Its elegant lines, the steel semi-monocoque chassis, and the details typical of the first series make it a vehicle of great historical and collecting interest. An example that represents not only a means of transport but an authentic symbol of Italian design and engineering in the post-war era.
Today the Vespa 125 V14T “Bacchetta” is among the most sought-after Vespas on the collector’s market.

Catawiki always aims to offer you the best possible buying experience. Our experts virtually review and select every vehicle in line with our submission guidelines and we require our sellers to provide the most accurate description of the vehicle. However, providing a fully detailed analysis of the vehicle is extremely difficult, and close to impossible. To guide you, we ask our sellers to provide information about the vehicle’s condition. Please consider that most vehicles for sale are classic vehicles and they often already have a whole life behind them, meaning that even a condition 1 or 2 vehicle might need maintenance to be ready for the road. It is advised to carefully read our submission guidelines that further describe details about the condition grades and types to manage your expectations. Cars are sold “as is”, meaning as described and in the condition they are in at the time of the sale and without any representation, warranty or assumption of liability of any kind as to the condition by Catawiki or by the seller. The condition of this item is the opinion of the seller and may differ from yours, your local garage, or the dealer’s opinion. This does not automatically mean the car does not conform to its description. Before bidding, please check your local legislation regarding vehicle registration. Neither the seller nor Catawiki is responsible for the registration of the vehicle in your country and will not accept a cancellation for your failure to register the vehicle. We also recommend that, if possible, you arrange a viewing with the seller before placing a bid.
