The feeling of nostalgia among scooterists today is strong, with many still preferring the models from days gone by rather than the latest machines. But did you know that when the classic Vespa smallframes disappeared from British showrooms to be replaced by the more modern PK range, the demand for the older style models was great enough for Piaggio to continue production?
Exclusively in ScooterNova magazine, our man in Japan brings us the story of these models along with some local advertising material and a fantastic low mileage example of a Vespa 50S that still looks new.
Edition 47 of ScooterNova magazine will be available in branches of WH Smith and all good scooter shops throughout the UK from this weekend, along with the main branches of Easons in Belfast and Dublin, with overseas scooter shops receiving their stock early next week.
