The two stroke Vespa is rightly regarded as an iconic scooter. It’s initial purpose was to provide low cost transportation to the masses in the 1950s, but it evolved through the vibrant ’60s to became a symbol of the burgeoning youth culture, and on into the ’90s when it became firmly entrenched as an Italian icon. The history of this phenomenon has been well documented, as has the subculture that surrounds it, but there has been no previous attempt to provide a guide to buying one of these classic scooters. This book will help ensure that you avoid the main pitfalls and end up with your very own slice of La Dolce Vita on the driveway.

A dedicated petrol head, Mark Paxton has been addicted to two wheels since wobbling unaccompanied on to the road over 35 years ago. His entire working life has revolved around vehicles, initially in transport management, then through running his own garage, and latterly writing for classic car and motorcycle magazines. He also has four previous books to his name. A long term admirer of Vespas for their engineering as well as their style, Mark uses a PX daily.

"A must-have for anyone looking to buy a two-stroke Vespa. Well worth a punt at a tenner." – Octane
 "While it written for the novice in mind, it contains lots of good information that even experts can learn from."– Scoot! Magazine
