1966 PIAGGIO APE 500 The perfect promotional utility runabout for your business. Incredibly rare in the USA and beautifully restored (body off), this is the cutest Ute going. The APE makes a perfect utility vehicle with a high promotional and fun factor for a number of situations – golf courses, gated communities, wineries, resorts, hospitality etc. It brings a huge grin to the faces of everyone who sees it or has the occasion to drive it. Piaggio in Italy developed the APE ( pronounced “ah-pay” – Italian for “Honey Bee” ) in 1947 as a light duty, urban delivery vehicle and it became an instant success. The APE has been in continuous production since its inception and has been produced in a variety of different body styles in Italy and India. It has a proven reputation as a tough, practical and very economical transport for many commercial uses. The design is based on a very rugged chassis adaptable to multiple body styles/configurations and powered by a reliable and simple single cylinder engine with high specific torque and very low gearing that allows the APE to haul significant payloads at relaxed, but perfectly urban, velocities. The APE enjoyed continued design evolution and by 1966 was quite well developed and very dependable.
