Green Piaggio Ape model Mp 600 engine size187cc made in 1980.
Made in Italy in 1980, imported to UK in 1981, where it was sold to Westminster Council. It was used as a gardening vehicle in hyde park then eventually was sold to a farmer in Northern Wales, which he in turn used it to carry food for his animals. In 2002 the Ape finally was abandoned as a wreck.
In 2008 we found it advertised on an online auction and having won the ape, we at DUCK DUCK Billboards decided to add it to our fleet. In need of total restoration we decided to bring it back to its native home and have it restored to its former original glory. The work was carried out by La Nuova Carrozzeria Del Sud in Italy by Fiorentino and Carmine, who between them have 60 years or experience in servicing and restoring these precious vehicles. |
