About Us
The Piaggio Ape’
Our love of everything Italian has led us to import and offer to you our fully restored 1967 Piaggio Ape` converted into a sophisticated mobile bar that will elevate and enhance your next private event. We are extremely excited to bring to life this 1967 vintage beauty to the shores of Auckland.
We have been working diligently over the past 12 months customising, restoring and creating this gorgeous and unique 1967 vintage mobile bar. The Ape’ (pronounced Arr-pay) means “bee” and the first of its kind was built in Italy in 1948 to negotiate the narrow cobbled alleyways, delivering goods all over Italy.

QUESTIONS
Frequently asked
Does the price include travel?
ONLY to the North Shore of Auckland as far as Orewa. Price to be agreed further afield.
Do you have a liquor license?
As this is a private event and you are supplying/paying for the alcohol, a license is not necessary.
Who organises delivery of the kegs on the day?
As you are providing the alcohol, it is your responsibility to co-ordinate with our supplier and organise collection or return of the kegs the following working day. If you prefer, we can organise this as an additional fee.
Can we provide bottles of alcohol?
It is a greater option to use the taps, but yes of course some of the world’s beautiful champagnes do not come on tap — and we have plenty of fabulous ice buckets for an additional hire fee.
Who provides the glassware?
Every occasion and theme is different — it is best you hire your own glassware to suit your event i.e. cocktail glasses, highball tumbler, champagne, wine or beer glasses. We have a small selection of glasses to hire at an extra cost per glass (up to 50 x 4 different types).
