More About the Author
Product Description
Product Description
This inexpensive photographic history of Vespa, first published in 1993, receives a much-needed overhaul to bring it up to date, and includes the addition of some colour imagery. This appealingly quirky book captures the personality, individuality and style of the world of Vespa through an eye-catching array of period photographs, including Vespa's imaginative promotional material. Celebrities and girls seem ever-present through the pages, but there is plenty of technical interest to satisfy mechanically minded Vespa enthusiasts.
About the Author
The late Eric Brockway was managing director of Douglas for much of the time the company made Vespa scooters in the UK under licence. Peter Henshaw, who has carried out the update for the second edition, is a specialist scooter and motorcycle author, and lives in Sherborne, Dorset.

Format:Hardcover
The book was as described and turned up within the designated timeframe. The content of the book is very good and containes some very interesting old photos. My son said he would recommend it to any Vespa enthusiast.
Format:Hardcover
My wife just bought me this and I have to say i was a bit dissapointed. Its not a history of Vespa rather its a history of The Douglas Vespa company in the UK. There is a brief bit on the development of the original Vespa scooter at the start but the book mainly focuses on the UK and UK built models and doesn't really cover the development of the whole company elsewhere in Europe or the far east. Need to find a more comprehensive book on the subject, any ideas anybody?
Format:Hardcover
I thought this was a great book to learn the history of Vespa and if your thinking of buying this book you wont be disappointed.
