Product description
In 1959, scooters were the preferred mode of transportation for young people around the world. In Scotland, over 60 two-stroke vehicles whizzed along the Highland roads, providing spectators with an unforgettable sight.
After the Scottish Rally, the scene turned to England, for a British Lambretta Rally at Woburn Abbey. Climbing the scooter was also a popular pastime, and the highlights shown in this documentary capture all the action.
Competition continued on to Brands Hatch, England and the Isle of Man where the annual Motor Scooter Rally saw participants race the famous TT circuit. Scooter sport was so widespread that even the 1959 SSDT, one of the toughest motorcycle competitions in the world, had a class for them.
Stunning 1950s footage and commentary combine to give you a rare glimpse into this popular two-wheeler culture, including all the fun, laughter and joy of owning and riding a scooter.
