The two stroke Vespa is rightly regarded as an iconic scooter. Its initial purpose was to provide low cost transportation to the masses in the 1950s, but it evolved through the vibrant ’60s to became a symbol of the burgeoning youth culture, and on into the ’90s when it became firmly entrenched as an Italian icon. The history of this phenomenon has been well documented, as has the subculture that surrounds it, but there has been no previous attempt to provide a guide to buying one of these classic scooters. This book will help ensure that you avoid the main pitfalls and end up with your very own slice of La Dolce Vita on the driveway.
This Essential Buyer's Guide is packed with good advice from running costs, paperwork, vital statistics, valuation and the Vespa community, right through to whether your scooter will fit in with your lifestyle. This is the complete guide to choosing, assessing and buying the Vespa of your dreams.
Many classic cars have passed through Mark Paxton’s workshop doors for repair and restoration over the years. He is a dedicated petrolhead with a love for both four wheels and two. A move away from the motor trade and into classic car and motorcycle journalism has allowed him to put onto paper some of the experience gained during that time in the form of magazine articles and several books, including several Essential Buyer's Guides and Restoration Manuals, in Veloce's best-selling series.
