I had one of those....Bloody good wee car! (In its day).
Its model name was actually A40 Farina. It ran on A35 mechanicals.

"early reports suggest Andrea was knocked off his Vespa on his way in to work."

Knocked off his Vespa...

"He leaves a wife and two children."

That is very sad, my condolences to them.
