Get Even With SUVs The Vespa Way. Once Off Offer

Vespa Cannon Auction

Vespa Cannon Auction

If you are frustrated with all those SUVs not taking care of other vehicles on the road because they don't need to, here's your chance to get even.Or at least vent some frustration.

During the France - Algeria War, Vespa made this unique scooter for the French military. It was designed to make cannons more mobile and access difficult terrain by parachuting them into combat. So they equipped a Vespa scooter with a real cannon. 800 of these mobile cannon were made and deployed in Algeria.

The bazooka-scoot was stored on an Army base in Messina, Italy. It comes "as is", and can not fire, but any SUV-driving-soccer-mom will not know that when she's facing the business end of the cannon.

The Vespa is up for auction on Saturday 12 May
