TRAVELLING in style has been made even easier with the introduction of an amazing insurance offer on the purchase of a new Vespa ET4 125cc. Piaggio is offering riders 25+ years old a tempting £99 one year, Third Party, Fire and Theft policy.

The Vespa ET is one of the UK's best selling models and is a favourite with celebrities, including 'couple of the moment' Gwyneth Paltrow and husband Chris Martin, and style icons Jemma Kidd and Laura Bailey, who have both been spotted scooting through the city streets.

The Vespa's status as one of the world's most enduring symbols of cool has been reached from humble beginnings. When the legend was born in 1946 little did its designer know that the Vespa would grow to such iconic stature, leading the style stakes for nearly 60 years. The ET is an economical and environmentally friendly scooter - filling the tank costs only £5 and can last up to two weeks - and this amazing offer makes scootering an even more cost-friendly commute.

All you need to get behind the handlebars of a Vespa ET4 125cc is a provisional or full UK driving licence plus one day's CBT course (certificate of basic training) which can be arranged by an authorised Vespa dealer.

This amazing offer is available now from Vespa dealerships until September 2004. The ET4 125cc is priced at £2,349 and comes in various colours including perla white, black, imperial blue, excalibur silver and metallic aurora blue, which is new for this year.
