No mopeds in here today. Back in the 1960's there was a 4 wheeled car that wore the Vespa badge like on the bikes. It had 2 seats, a 400cc 18hp 2-stroke engine in the back and a maximum speed of about 50mph. Over in America where petrol was cheap and the cars were growing by the day you'd think a car that was 1.5 metres long and weighed under 400Kg would not sell but around 1700 were exported between 1959 and 1960.
