Vintage Scooter Video

Hi all Dave sent me this link to a Youtube video, thought I would share it with you all as I think it's quite unique in giving an insight into to early British Scootering. For me the early 60's cars are as good to look at as the scooters. Does anyone know what the scooter was called ridden by that nutter over the tank testing track ?

Information required


A request from Andy (Nico)

Here is a picture of helens grandad in the centre of the picture behind that horrid (german he thinks) scooter.The picture was taken in Liverpool in the 1950s we think But maybe some one could put a better date on it by looking at the lambrettas,Helens grandad can not remember what the make of his scooter was and would love to know. Also wondering if his mates Lambrettas are still about as you can clearly see the reg plates.

Here are the details of the Dunkley Popular (the strange red one in the middle) that Eugene correctly identified, however the front mudguard looks a little different. Click on the image to zoom up the details, 25 to 30 mph !!!!

Also the NSU Prima V looks about right, have a look at this video www.youtube.com/watch?v=3vC0R5nuFPU
