Vespa: An Illustrated History

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.
