VISITORS to the Lakeland Motor Museum can roll back the years with a very special two-wheeler which once belonged to one of the most prominent members of the Royal family. Evocative of the Mod culture of the 1960s, Vespas were the two-wheeled stars of the classic British film Quadrophenia and are an enduring symbol of teenage rebellion and carefree youth. They also became the ‘must have’ fashion accessory for any self-respecting Mod, with around two million Vespas sold in 1960 and sales shooting up to the four million mark by 1970. In more recent decades, the Vespa continued to cement its reputation as a design icon, particularly in Italy where they represent adventure and romance.
