I t doesn ’ t seem like all that long ago when we were celebrating with Vespa their 70th anniversary , but now in 2021 the Italian scooter maestro ’ s are celebrating their semisesquicentennial with a series of special Primavera and GTS models . For the 75th anniversary models , Vespa has created a special metallic yellow paint they ’ re calling “ Giallo 75th ”. Developed as a contemporary interpretation of hues in vogue in the 1940s , the colour evokes the heritage and funky style Vespa is known for . The side panels and front mudguard display the number 75 in a slightly stronger shade , creating an elegant tone-on-tone effect , which is repeated on the front of the scooter , where the traditional “ tie ” is an opaque pyrite yellow . There ’ s also a special nubuck leather saddle in smoke grey with piping , wheel rims painted in grey with a diamond finish and a host of chrome-plated details , including the “ tie ” ornaments , the badge on the front mudguard , the instrument cluster surround , the muffler cover , the rear-view mirrors and , on the GTS only , the foldaway passenger footpegs .
