Lambrettas at SSAFA Car Show

It wasn't just cars at the SSAFA Car Show at Ewen Fields on 19 Oct 2014 - there were a few motor cycles as well, and the Lambretta scooters pictured below.
Scooters, usually Lambretta or Vespa, were a popular means of transport for youngsters in the 1960s, particularly amongst the 'Mods' who were well known for their altercations with the motor cycle riding 'Rockers'. There's still a sizeable number of enthusiasts and I've managed to make out that the nearest Lambretta belongs to a member of the Buxton Black Sheep Scooter Club.
