This 1981 Vespa P200E was reportedly stored for approximately two decades before it was acquired in 2020 by its current owner who subsequently performed a cosmetic and mechanical refurbishment. The scooter is finished in metallic blue and is powered by a 198cc two-stroke single paired with a four-speed transmission. Equipment includes a two-up seat, a trailing-link front end, a center stand, a locking storage compartment, 10″ wheels, bright accents, and a high-performance cylinder and piston. This P200E is offered at no reserve on dealer consignment with a collection of service invoices and a clean California title.

Features include a black vinyl-covered two-up seat with a grab strap as well as a locking storage compartment, a center stand, bright accents, street lighting, and mirrors. The selling dealer states the wiring harness, lights, and switches were replaced under current ownership.
