Rare 1991 Piaggio Ape 501, imported from Italy — with an interesting artistic history. Mileage approx. 27,221 (43808km)
This charming little Ape was previously part of a Tate Modern exhibition, making it a particularly unusual and characterful example.
It runs beautifully and has recently benefited from a new carburettor and exhaust. It also has no major rust issues, making it a great starting point for someone looking to create a unique mobile business or simply own a genuinely distinctive Italian classic.
The compact size and unmistakable styling make it perfect for a pizza van, coffee van, gelato van, street-food business or promotional vehicle.
There is huge potential to create something really special while retaining the original vintage character of the Ape.
