Ziggy & Bob Birchmore getting in on the act..
Saturday I got to visit the second installment of the ‘EVV Country Tour’ put on by a certain Mr & Mrs Jopson of the Essex Vintage Vespa Club. It was an early start, leaving home in West Hertfordshire at 4.50am and a long day, eventually getting back in at 9.30pm.
Up at the crack - catching the sunrise in West Hertfordshire..
Not that I’m complaining; Warren & Hayley gave us all a truly memorable day, with a lot of effort and planning to make it happen. I dropped off my roll of film for processing on the ride into work this morning, so fingers crossed the photos come out well..! A couple of iPhone shots below in the meantime..
Beautiful environs and our base, near Brentwood in Essex, for EVV Country Tour 2
Some lovely machines present on the day, including a stunning 1974 orange Motovespa…!!
Catching up pre-rideout and furthering Anglo-Belgian relations. Nice to see VVC European friends and members in attendance; journeying across the Channel from Belgium, Holland and France..
A decent turnout of riders with a wide cross-section of Vespa models that spanned the decades; the oldest being from 1948..!
More to follow on this and the numerous recent VVC events in the next issue of the Veteran Vespa Club JOURNAL - out at the end of the July.
