Vespa and Lambretta Clubs

Vespa and Lambretta Clubs

I went on holiday in Asturias, to Llanes to be precise, and was surprised to find a thriving Vespa and Lambretta scene up there. In fact there is a Scooter club there which does rallies and trips all year round. I took a couple of pictures and as you can see they really like colurful scooters up there.

Vespas and Lambrettas for sale come in all sorts of colours of course but if you are not buying new you may find that the colours have faded and it needs a spruce up. Pimping a Vespa or Lambretta or for that matter any type of scooter is a lot easier than a car as there is less to cover, however making it look as classy as those in the photos may be slightly more difficult. Make sure you go to a professional service that will not spoil your pride and joy scooter.

Vintage Vespas

A Vintage Vespa is an object of desire for many people. Vintage vespas are getting more difficult to get hold of as they get older of course but if you manage to find one and it needs some work then finding parts for your vintage vespa can also be difficult. There are specialist shops around of course and they offer a variety of parts for your vintage Italian scooters and luckily these days you can order parts directly over the internet.

The following video shows pristine vespas in an ad from the 1960’s. Obviously any vespa for sale these days is going to be a bit less clean and a little more banged and bumped but you can always restore your vespa using any of these online companies.

The Story Of Lambretta Scooters

Lambretta Scooters became a style icon in the 50’s and 60’s. If you have never known anything about the history of the Lambretta Scooter then here is your chance to see some the history of the scooter with accompanying music. It is still possible to get the old style Lambretta Scooters today of course although they are getting rarer and in the days of high oil prices having a scooter that can do up to 120 mpg is nothing if not a great environmental decision.

Enjoy the video and if you are looking for a lambretta scooter for sale then check out the ads on the page.
