Lambretta GP150 (tuned TS1 240cc) – Twiggy
Twiggy Tribute
This Lambretta, a shimmering metal flake moon dust, subtle fashion roundels and stand out colours, whisper tales of the Swinging Sixties. This isn’t just a scooter; it’s a tribute, a vibrant homage to Twiggy, the iconic face of a decade defined by colour and attitude. No rules, no boundaries – just pure, unadulterated fun.
The build, a meticulous symphony of style, channelled Twiggy’s playful spirit. Emerald green, punctuated by pops of magenta, sunshine yellow and warm rose, mirrored the bold almost shocking colours of the era. The subtle curves, echoing the iconic silhouettes of Twiggy’s photographs, were not mere imitations; they are a celebration of form and freedom.
The images, carefully chosen and artfully incorporated, weren’t slavish copies. They are interpretations, infused with a touch of artistic licence, capturing the very essence of Twiggy’s captivating Charisma. Each detail, from the custom paint job to the dress style suede seat, speaks of a time when youthful rebellion and self-expression were paramount.
Behind the side panels, Twiggy comes to life both on the reverse of the side panel and inside where period perfume bottles in a bespoke holder, are filled with 2 stroke oil, a handbag that Twiggy may have used, where in today’s world, secretly hides the mobile phone, but the pies de la resistance, is when you unzip the seat to reveal a playful Twiggy and her original clothes label. Then under the seat we have a complete copper plated tool kit, laid out as if ready to use. Only a woman would think to do that. Everything is in its place, neat, considered and thought through, and all within easy access if needed.
This isn’t just a scooter, it’s a statement to the unforgettable spirit of the Sixties, embodied in the timeless allure of Twiggy.
