An Auction of Classic and Performance Cars and Motorcycles
2003 Vespa ET4 125cc Pit Bike
Believed to be one of 20 for the use of the Schumacher Scuderia Ferrari F1 Team, only 27 miles from new *** NO RESERVE****
Registration - HX03 XJP
Chassis No. - ZAPM1900001033015
M.O.T. - N/A
Odometer - 27 miles from new
This pristine 125cc Vespa scooter has travelled just 27 miles since being first UK registered in May 2003. We understand that it is one of only 20 such Ferrari-liveried examples that were created for use by the Scuderia Ferrari F1 team at Grands Prix around the world, and hails from the period when the Prancing Horse and its star driver Michael Schumacher dominated the formula. The bike was reputedly purchased by a friend of Schumacher at a charity auction before being acquired for display at a garden centre in Windermere. It was from there that the vendor acquired the Vespa in 2016. He informs us that it has never been ridden on the road and has always been stored indoors, as a result of which he has no hesitation in describing its engine, automatic transmission, frame, Ferrari-liveried bodywork and cycle parts as all being in ‘excellent’ order. ‘HX03 XJP’ (the FERRARI plate is a dummy for display purposes only) is now offered complete with owner’s manual, service book and purchase receipts, plus a copy of an article from the Sun newspaper showing Schumacher and his long term manager Willi Weber astride an apparently identical machine.

Potential buyers should satisfy themselves with the description and condition of each lot prior to sale. Each vehicle is offered ‘as is/as seen’ as per the terms and conditions for the auction, buyers are asked to inspect the vehicle in person or use a professional to carry out the service. Any disputes over descriptions will not be entertained.
