NOW SOLD!    Piagio Ape 501 from Bridget Jones’s Having a Baby

1987 Piaggio Ape 501 – As seen in the movie Bridget Jones’s Baby in 2016. The Piaggio Ape 501 model was imported by Universal Pictures (It was originally custard yellow!) and then customised as a prop for the scene where Bridget, Mark Darcy and the Gianni the driver are careering down Piccadilly Circus to get Bridget to hospital.
The Ape was painted as Gianni’s pizza delivery three wheel scooter.

Wainhill Vintage Caravans bought the Ape in June 2023 (7 years after the release of the film) from Nottingham where it had been dry stored.

The intention was to get the Ape to the point where it was road legal and get it MOT’d. This was achieved but the vendor couldn’t then find a garage who did Class 3 MOT’s locally so it went back into the barn in September where is has been stored since.

Thousands have been spent on restoring the Ape but keeping the integrity of the vehicle as it appeared as a prop in the film. The top box which is wooden was purpose built back and totally original showing signs of it age since the production and filming of Bridget Jones’s Baby.

Accompanied with a letter of provenance and the original import documentation.

Video of the Ape previously running is available on request – currently dry stored without fuel in the tank.

Unique opportunity to own a piece of film prop memorabilia or would make a great business opportunity converting it into a Bridget Jones themed pizza business.

1972 Thomson Mini Glen in very original condition   NOW SOLD!

This lovely small caravan was bought from Errol in Scotland and has been barn stored all her life so is dry. Light enough to be towed by a Mini or a smaller car.

She is immaculate inside with a totally original interior – probably one of the best remaining in this Thomson model. Original kitchen with gas cooker and sink (both will need recommissioning) and the front end toilet cabinet. Rear dinette style seating with the original cushions which form a double bed.

When I bought her she was thoroughly checked over and is roadworthy and towable (axle, chassis and A frame all checked and greased) along with the wheels and brake. New tyres were fitted in 2021 and have not been used on the road yet!  All external lights and 7 pin plug working so can hitched up and towed away.

A small part of the headliner has come down at the seam and needs carefully tucking back into place and she will need a replacement lock part as came to me with no keys.

Dimensions: Overall length 12’9” Body length 9’8” Body width 6’11” Height 7’6”

Definitely one for the purists due to her originality and condition.
