DetailsThe Vespa scooter started life as a practical means of personal transport designed to get a nation moving after the ravages of the Second World War. It quickly progressed to symbolize the Italian way of life, and it blends innovative mechanical design with an unmistakable Italian style. Established in 1947 these vintage scooters had a renaissance around the release of the 1979 film Quadrophenia, based on The Who’s rock opera. In that movie, the Li 150 Series 3 Lambretta ridden by the young mod Jimmy is the very symbol of his rebellion. The show will feature some 50 vintage scooters, owners & custom restoration specialists will be on hand to answer questions and regale guests with stories and the history of these iconic scooters.
"True experts who are a treat to talk to. There is nothing they do not know when it comes to classic scooters." Had a smash in May, MY VESPA Rally was crumpled and so was I, Niall and Dave were brilliant over the phone helping me with write-off questions and today I popped in to see them about having the VESPA Rally repaired. was given a tour and shown the process (I must admit I worked in a car plant and paint shop as a QC Team Leader so know a bit about paint but kept quiet)!'
