A 50-year gap

Two pictures of my SX200: one was taken in 1969 after a car failed to stop

at a give way sign – the scooter was a write-off; the second one was taken

this year.

Still loving scootering.

AweekinSouthWales

I was given this Vespa Clubman 125cc and I restored it with spray cans

etc. After passing my test, I joined Crystal Palace Vespa Club where I met

my current wife – we are still together (50 years next year). I still have five

Vespas (a GTV250, ET4, 92L, GS 150 VS5, and a 70th Anniversary PX150).

These photos were taken on a week’s ride to South Wales with my brother.

My SS180 was purchased at Elite Motors in Garret Lane, Tooting, South

London. It was a great scooter which cost around £190 – wish I still had it

of course.
