Description

original Vespa 50 R, from Italy, old Italian registration number is still with the scooter, now registered with Dutch moped registration. Originally, Piaggio was a (war) aircraft manufacturer that was no longer allowed to build aircraft after World War II. After all, Italy had colluded with the Germans. Therefore, the Piaggio management decided to transform their production line into a scooter factory.In 1946, Piaggio became famous for producing scooters named Vespa (wasp).Many aircraft parts were initially used. For instance, the front wheel was the nose wheel of earlier aircraft, the engine was a modified starter motor, etc. Soon these scooters - designed by Corradino d'Ascanio - became popular in post-war Italy, where there was a great need for simple means of transport. Vespa thus became a brand name.originele Vespa 50 R, afkomstig uit Italie, oude italiaanse kenteken is nog bij de scooter, nu geregistreerd met Nederlands brommerkenteken. Oorspronkelijk was Piaggio een (oorlogs)vliegtuigbouwer die na de Tweede Wereldoorlog geen vliegtuigen meer mocht bouwen. Italië had immers gecollaboreerd met de Duitsers. Daarom besloot de Piaggio-directie om hun productielijn om te vormen tot een scooterfabriek.In 1946 werd Piaggio beroemd met de productie van scooters die de naam Vespa (wesp) kregen.Vele vliegtuigonderdelen werden aanvankelijk gebruikt. Zo was het voorwiel het neuswiel van de vroegere vliegtuigen, de motor was een aangepaste startmotor, enz. Al snel werden deze scooters - ontworpen door Corradino d'Ascanio - populair in het naoorlogse Italië, waar grote behoefte aan eenvoudige transportmiddelen bestond. Vespa werd zo een merknaam.
