As beautiful as a 1950s Vespa looks, they generally don’t go too fast, especially by today’s standards. But we want to see them out and about and being enjoyed, not hidden away, so inside edition 48 of ScooterNova we take a look at modifications that can be made to make an old classic usable on 21st century roads.
This British built Douglas Vespa has a number of parts fitted and a few mods made, so we took it for a spin to see how it feels on today’s roads.
