Customer Reviews: Average Rating:  Rating :  - great book, get others for your library though.
This really is a great book with wonderful pictures. The title is very misleading in terms that it is in no way a definitive history of Vespa. It is however a very valuable resource on the Vespa in the UK and Douglas motorcycles. If you already have an interest and other resources on the Vespa history at large, and a passing interest in the socio-economic conditions in the UK in relation to the rise and fall of British motorcycle companies (a stretch, but I certainly do), the book is a must have. Some time is spent on the earlier Vespa clubs in the late 40s and early 50s, as well as detailed information on UK-only modifications and offerings well into the 1960s. Several pictures offer insight into Vespa production facilities and methods. + See Full Customer Review |
