The restoration of a GS Vespa isn’t a task to be undertaken lightly, but even if factory finish is required at least there are plenty of references to follow. However, what if the customer wants a restoration that reflects the machine at a very specific point in its history? What if the customer is Roger Daltrey and what if the only reference available is a grainy video clip of the machine on stage with Billy Idol in 1996? Welcome to the world of Aaron White, man behind the rebirth of this iconic machine.
Stan: Okay Aaron, you’ve brought me down south to see what, dare I say it, looks like a pretty average Vespa GS restoration. What’s the story?
Aaron: There’s nothing average about this scoot, I’d say it’s iconic.
Stan: Go on...
This is the very GS used on stage by The Who on their 1996/7 Quadrophenia
