Ted (on the Lambretta GT200) sent these 2 pictures of him and his mate Pete (who was obviously camera shy sitting on the Vespa... ) when they came down to Torquay from Manchester for a weeks holiday in the summer of approximately 1966. He tells us they had a cracking time and the girls legs (left picture) belong to one of 2 girls they met who were also on holiday from Redruth. Well that's what they told Ted anyway! Cheers Ted

Here's a classic picture sent in by Tracy on his Vespa GS160 with Paignton Pier in the background. Could be 60s or 70s but not sure?

Take a look at this photo which Terry picked up in a charity shop. it appears to be a Spanish family of 5 going shopping on a Servetta! Who needs a car!

And here is a picture taken in the 60s of Terry's 1966 Lambretta Silver Special 150 Pacemaker which he tells me he upgraded to 175cc

Mike Phillips sent us this picture of himself on his SX200 and says it was in an early scooter magazine. Unfortunately Mike cant remember where it was so maybe you can help?

Phil Courtney on the left and Phil again with brother Gerald on the right.  They're from Exeter and are friends of member Terry Styles. Oh yes, the scooter by the way is an Li 150 Series 1 Frame Breather and this photo was taken in 1967!
