Vespa

The Vespa 400 car was a joint project between France and Italy which lasted from 1957 until 1961.  This 2+2 coupé was powered by an air-cooled 393cc engine and approximately 34,000 were built.  As Vespa is best known for its scooters, a number of their models are pictured below, made by New-Ray and slightly larger than 1:43rd scale.  (Vespa is the Italian word for “wasp”)
