Playmobil perfectly captures the iconic curves of the finest Vespa ever made*

An original one in decent condition will set you back closing in on £4k, for that you get a super-stylish bit of 2-stroke 149cc kit that’ll get you about an urban environment with minimum hassle and turn a few heads too – Oh, and you’ll not look like a two-wheeled moped person scourge of the road hurtling about to serve up some sub-standard and tepid takeaway food. We’ve seen these at various shows throughout 2024 and now they’re ready to ship one of the three styles your way and, for something extra-shelf-worthy there’s a garage too kitted out with everything you won,t need for fixing up your unbreakable copy of the classic. May we introduce you to the Playmobil press release, it’s quite charming (until the end when it reverts to waffle to reach some pre-determined word count minimum at HQ we think). Also, there is a Blue and Green version but alas no red, will need to dig out some Humbrol from our last DnD paint session and sort that out this end.

The iconic Vespa stands for summer, sun, youth and Italian charm. The three new PLAYMOBIL sets in true-to-original realization of the classic Vespa 150 Sprint Veloce symbolize exactly this flair. For all Vespa lovers to collect and for varied play fun with the scooter in the children’s playrooms. Produced between 1969 and 1979, this model is synonymous with the classic scooter, and not just because of the iconic handlebar head with the large round headlight.

In the specialized 60s Vespa Garage from the swinging sixties, the mechanic repairs and services the scooters. The workshop is perfectly equipped with a movable lifting platform, integrated workbench and a variety of accessories and spare parts, such as a petrol pump, compressor and air pressure gauge. The wheels of PLAYMOBIL Vespa can be dismantled so in order to simulate a wheel change. How good that there are also two spare wheels in stock. For work on the engine, one side of the bodywork can be removed for servicing or repairing the engine.

A manoeuvrable Vespa is the ideal vehicle for trips. The PLAYMOBIL set 1969 Vespa 150 Sprint Veloce, light green is perfectly equipped for this. The shopping basket on the luggage carrier can be conveniently removed and a wallet, packet of biscuits and juice carton can be stored in it. Excursions on two wheels are always a pleasure with Vespa. Just put on your helmet and off you go! 1969 Vespa 150 Sprint Veloce, blue is perfectly prepared for this. The spare wheel is mounted on the rear of the scooter so that the rider can replace the tyre directly in the event of a puncture. And if it is necessary to take a look at the engine, one side of the body panelling can be easily removed.

The three new PLAYMOBIL sets with Vespa 150 Sprint Veloce bring the special lifestyle associated with these iconic scooters directly into children’s rooms and to collectors’ shelves. Workshop visits, shopping trips and rides on the cult vehicle extend the range of classic vehicles from PLAYMOBIL.
