In 1984 the first restyling created the Arcobaleno model which was a huge success and which made us forget the bad news coming from the United States. This particular Vespa was full of very interesting innovations from an aesthetic point of view. An example? First of all the saddle which appeared to be more padded. The central platform was wider while the instrumentation more complete thanks finally to the presence of an important fuel level indicator.

In 2011, in fact, the PX returned again with the 125 8 HP and 150 9 HP versions, all three approved to the Euro 3 standard thanks to the CDI electronic ignition and the new catalytic converter.
Seven years after the previous one, at the 2014 Milan Motor Show, the special Touring version of the Vespa PX was presented, while the special Settantesimo version was presented at the 2015 Motor Show, recognizable mainly by the specific Azzurro 70 and Grigio 70 colors.
