Vespa 150 GL-A / 1959
Vespa 150 GL-A a rare and authentic find: this early Vespa 150 GL-A from the first production year, 1959, was originally sold in Belgium and remains in exceptionally beautiful condition. The vehicle is completely original and still wears its first coat of paint in a charming light blue color. This specific model was assembled at the well-known M.I.S.A. factory in Brussels, recognizable by the original Vespa logo on the leg shield. The GL-A is closely related to the Italian VBA, but features several distinct differences that make it unique to the Belgian market.
One notable feature is the 10-inch wheels, which were considered an upgrade. To provide enough clearance for the larger front wheel, the front mudguard from the GS150 was used a modification that not only enhanced the look, but also significantly improved ride and braking comfort. In its time, the Vespa 150 GL-A was one of the most popular models in Belgium and the Netherlands, playing a key role in the rise of the iconic Italian brand throughout the Benelux. Today, it is a highly sought-after collector’s item, especially in this original and well-preserved condition.
