I was just watching a vintage Look at Life DVD taken from the London area Odeon Cinemas series that has just been released on DVD, and I noticed an item about a British made Scooter and they said nothing about it's make or name.
It was white (they all were) built in the UK; Designed to be light weight for women to find easier to heave around.
The logo on the side was a kind of bell shape in red.
It could have been automatic gears.
I was riding around in London on my Douglas 350 Mk IV Sport in the early 1960s and I never saw one like this. I think I'll upload a still shot from the DVD to see if anyone recognises the make. It's driving me nuts not knowing what it was.
It wasn't a Triumph Tiger, it's too small. There was another one even smaller made that were all lavender colour and very puny. The white scooter you see in this photo was tested by the factory over Tank Assault course somewhere to see if they could self-destruct but they were mighty tough apparently.
The movie shows them stacked up for selling in their hundreds.
Anyone recognise this thing?
Plado.
