Bodywork & Finish

The Piaggio Ape we offer here is a fully restored 1987 example, expertly converted into a stylish “Coffee Corner” in full Ferrari livery. This charming three-wheeler is more than just a head-turner – it is a fully functional mobile espresso bar, built with great attention to detail and respect for the original design.

The bodywork has been professionally restored and repainted in the iconic Ferrari red, including the signature yellow accents and logos. The finish is smooth and clean, giving the Ape a well-maintained and polished appearance.

The conversion into a mobile coffee bar has been tastefully executed. The cargo area has been transformed into a tidy and practical serving station, equipped with a refrigerator, power supply, and smart storage solutions for bar equipment. Everything is seamlessly integrated, maintaining the vehicle's classic exterior charm.

Mechanical Condition & Functionality

Technically, this Piaggio Ape is in excellent condition. The engine starts without issue and runs smoothly. The manual transmission operates as it should, and all mechanical systems are functioning properly.

The electrical system has been upgraded to support the coffee bar functionality. Features such as lighting, power outlets, and connections for espresso machines and cooling systems have been installed. This Ape is fully ready to serve on location – whether at events, trade fairs, car shows, or for private use.

History & Concept

First introduced in 1948, the Piaggio Ape was designed as a compact three-wheeled utility vehicle, ideal for navigating the narrow streets of Italian towns. Over the decades, it has grown into a true cultural icon.

This particular example has been transformed into a Ferrari “Servizio Clienti” vehicle – a mobile service unit that blends the world of Italian motorsport with authentic espresso culture. The combination of classic engineering and modern coffee-serving capabilities makes this a rare and highly versatile vehicle.

Highlights & Use Cases

Fully restored example

Iconic Ferrari livery

Functional coffee bar with fridge and electrical setup

Ideal for events, brand promotion, catering, or private collections

Excellent visual and technical condition

With its unique appearance, practical usability, and connection to the rich heritage of both Piaggio and Ferrari, this is a true collectible for car enthusiasts, hospitality entrepreneurs, or event organizers looking for something truly special.
