| | @YankeeDisc: 1968, I had a Vespa Sportique 150 + Parker, none of the extras as it would not go faster than 50mph, pass my test and got a 500cc Triumph Daytona T100T, have had motorbikes ever since, my latest I have had 21years.
The part in Quadrophenia were the scooter crashed was junction of Gravesend Rd and Galloway Rd, just round the corner from were I lived in Shepherds Bush. |

| | The scooter depicted on the cover is a Vespa GS 160 Mk II, correct for the setting of the mini opera, London and Brighton 1964.
The scooter depicted in the film, ridden by ace-face played by Sting was a much later Vespa model, a P200E I think, from the mid-1970s.
When I was a young mod in the 60s, friends of mine rode the exact same scooter, with "The Who" on their parkas, chrome "bubbles" (side panels), faux leopard skin seat cover, crash bars and seat rest. Not so many mirrors or lights, though, but VW chrome hub caps were popular, so you can guess how they came by those.
Of interest is the addition of the chromed rear luggage rack, with a spare wheel visible. The Vespa GS 160 was novel in the fact that under the near side panel (left side) was housed the battery, and a spare wheel, so by carrying another spare at the rear, you had two spare wheels......how many cars carry two spare wheels?
The other scooter favoured by mods, the Lambretta Tv 200 and subsequent models, had no facility for a concealed spare wheel, unless a spare wheel was mounted at the front onto the panels where the riders' knees would be up against it.
As top of the range Vespas from 1964 (GS and SS models from 1965) had a front glove box as standard, many Lambretta owners copied that and installed an after market glove box, so then requiring a rear chrome luggage rack/spare wheel carrier, if they were to avoid the inconvenience of punctures.
With me always a Vespa man (SS 180) I carried two spare wheels........happy days. |
