ANDY Reid brought you Europe’s style icon, the Vespa, in 2003. He introduced the renowned Art Vespa competition in 2005. The three-wheeled Fuocco arrived in 2008. And now, Reid continues the innovation with the production of a stretch Vespa.

As if the Vespa didn’t already have a dozen similarities with luxury limousines – including sleek contours, superb finishes and the ability to turn heads – you can now take your friends along for the ride.

You’d be surprised to discover that the stretch Vespa is even easier to manoeuvre than a standard two-wheeled scooter. And it includes a hi-tech four stroke engine and all-steel chassis. Take a closer look to appreciate the attention to detail – a flash of ice with the chrome kit and custom tangerine stitching to complement the oh-so-now acid hue of the body.

You won’t have a problem finding passengers for this sexy number. Park it anywhere, and in minutes you will have a queue of admirers. All you need is a red carpet, Gucci outfit and you’re ready for fame and fortune with Vespa.

Get down to the Wynberg service branch in Cape Town from 1pm on Friday afternoons and have a gander at the stretch Vespa.
