History of Vespa Motorscooters in Australia

Along with our Vespa register, we are researching into the history of the Vespa motorscooter in Australia. But it doesn't just stop at Vespa, we are interested in any information about any motorscooter. Please send through your club newsletters and websites of interest.

Everything from photos, movies, brochures, flyers, magazines, and books to rego papers, advertising, pennants, badges and stickers to name but a few.

Below is a list of items we are hoping to find more information about. Please contact us if you can help or have any knowledge of previous scootering and clubs/shops etc.

Vespa Club of Toowoomba

We've heard that a club existed in Toowoomba, can anyone help with information?

Bruce Small Pty Ltd & Malvern Star Stores

These businesses were the main dealers in the 1950s across Australia. Does anyone have anything they can add? We'd also like to get the names of any other shops that sold motorscooters in Australia.
