Vespa in ordine cronologico

In the summer of 1962, the vehicle carried two Madrid University students, Santiago Guillen and Antonio Veciana, on a tour of Europe. The two youths, headed for Rome and then Athens, met the master of surrealism in Cadaquez, the first stop on their trip. In the words of one journalist, Salvador Dalì "true to his reputation, decided to decorate the Vespa in bizarre fashion, adding his signature and the name of his partner and muse Gala".

The Vespa 90 was launched in 1963 together with the 50, and used many of the same components. Retailed in a single colour – sky-blue – it had 10” wheels. About 24,000 units were sold in Italy.
