Vintage Scooter Adverts from Piaggio Vespa and Innocenti Lambretta
The Vespa, once described by The Times as "The most completely Italian product since the Roman chariot"
Here follows our little collection of vintage scooter TV commercials and other amusing scootering films and shorts.
Vespa-pa-pa(papapapapapa)
One of the really old ads from Piaggio celebrating the dulcet tones of the 2-stroke Vespa engine with a mildly insane voice over.
Vespa 200 ad
This ad is from Spain acclaiming their "new line" Vespa 200, lots of rolling Rrrrs and more dodgy sound tracks.
1960s Piaggio Vespa TV commercial
A swinging sixties scooter club spot, followed by a ride your scooter down the beach scene with some swinging music. Not sure i'd ride mine through sand and salt water but there you go.
1960s Italian Scooter Ad "Vespa Vespa Vespa" (Vespa)
Featuring a GS160 Vespa scooter and some very subliminal advertising, be warned : contains hard to hear subverse message, see if you can spot it. (Vespa)

Adidas Ad (The Road to Lisbon)
Though new this advert features a load of vintage scooters including a bucket load of Piaggio Vespas, Innocenti Lambrettas and even a Heinkel Tourist scooter.
The Lambretta Twist
Unique and somewhat amusing Italian 1960s Lambretta ad featuring some mad 'scientists' in a futuristic sort of laboratory, singing a musical number about the Lambrett Twist, a dance inspired by the Lambretta's steering mechanism. Or something.
Indian Bajaj Scooter Ad
It seems over in India they also love their scooters, apparently some people drape theirs in flowers and pray to them, if anyone else has tried this let me know.
Quadrophenia inspired Lucozade Ad
A Definite Quadrophenia theme going on here featuring some nice looking scoots and a load of Mods.
