$22K Christian Dior 946 Vespa engine....crazy..
« on: February 26, 2023, 01:19:49 AM »
It uses the same 155cc, 3/Valve, air-cooled engine that is in my $3,099 Liberty150i.
It is supposed to be a good little engine, so I'm not complaining.
But, if I opened the owner's manual of my new Christian Dior 946 manual and saw that....I  might be🙂

.crazy...

And, I'm feeling a little peculiar.

I don't want anything with a fashion designers name on it let alone be willing to pay extra for it.

I think this is something to add to one's collection, not ride.

They seem to release one of these goofy 946 specials every so often.
Vespa makes some goofy specials - like the Justin Beeb all white with flames, the sailboat or 'Harbor' on somesuch, , and the picnic, All Very classy.
There's a guy in Palm springs CA who is collecting one of every color....and he tells us all about it.
The normal 946 is/was @ $10K if you could find one.....still with that little A/C 155 in it!*
I just could never ger my eye around that 'flying' seat.

*at least it won't have the failing fuel pumps which are making pedestrians out of owners of the big 300's!

No storage on the 946. It's about style. Kind of explains why the 150 air cooled engine is OK.
