"Lambrettas, Vespas or Brit Scoots".
we all have our own idea of what we prefer to have as our chosen mode of transport, but how many times do you see fine examples of scooters on the road but have no clue as to the make or model, especially nowadays with so many fine custom models around, here therefore without getting all technical and nerdy, are some details of the many makes and models created over the years, many of which are still with us....
Vespa is an Italian line of scooters manufactured by Piaggio.
The Vespa has evolved from a single model motor scooter manufactured in 1946 by Piaggio & Co. S.p.A. of Pontedera, Italy -- to a full line of scooters and one of seven companies today owned by Piaggio -- now Europe's largest manufacturer of two-wheeled vehicles and the world's fourth largest motorcycle manufacturer by unit sales.
