You don't see many early Lambretta and Tittarelli sidecar outfits, so when you come across someone who owns two the same matching colour – wow!

Mark's Model B And Sidecar

A few years ago, Mark Richardson’sModel A with its matching redTittarelli sidecar could be seen being ridden quite a lot in Italy. He even took the combination around the famous Monza race circuit during the Lambretta celebrations, which included the EuroLambretta event. So, to find another early Lambretta in red with the same make of sidecar was amazing. Earlier this year his good friend Lee Parr of Parrspeed unearthed another unique Lambretta, a Model B, also with a Tittarelli sidecar, in Asti, 35 miles from Turin.

The city of Asti is in the Piedmont region in the northwest of Italy and is known as the City of Towers. I'm sure it would have been stunning, riding through the amazing architecture of Roman walls in the summer sun on this splendid-looking classic Lambretta.

Simon's DKR Capella 175cc

It’s probably fair to say that in the 1950s most British scooters were well short of the styling and panache of their Latin rivals, but this all changed in 1960 with the launch of the DKR Capella - a sleek Villiers-powered two-stroke which period road testers described as being ‘the most beautiful small-wheeler ever made by a British manufacturer’.

Barry's Dayton Albatross Continental Twin

In my younger days, as well as motorcycles, I had a Vespa 90 and a Vespa 90SS, which I thoroughly enjoyed. I returned to scootering (after having several classic cars) with a 1965 Vespa VBB, but I had always hankered after a Dayton Albatross since I was about 12 or 13. Last year I decided to finally fulfil that dream…

To see it within a crowded scooter compound or lined up at the side of the road at a busy rally, you’d possibly not pay Tabby’s Indian GP200 too much attention or perhaps even feel it was worth a second glance. But that’s precisely where you would be wrong...
