Customer Reviews

Great overview of Vepsa
I orignally bought this book so that I could figure out which model scooter I would buy.

It is great in that it covers a large number of variations of Vespa and I found the short description of each bike and technical data very useful. Packed with historical information on Vespa, I have returned to it many times since buying my scooter to brush up on my knowledge.

A great book and worth buying in my humble opinion.
