Bazaar AF250 Mary Quant Tribute
Winner of the Newark Winter Classic Bike Show (Best Lambretta), Bazaar AF250 is a vibrant example of 60’s Icon’s, a sweet Lambretta and a stunning tribute to Mary Quant who died last year.
Martyn has ticked every box when it comes to “Custom” Scooters so you can see why it won. Very well deserved, I first saw this last year at Coventry V.M.S.C. where I was suprised when it didn’t win something. Martyn displayed the scooter in a blackout tent at the classic bike show to highlight the amazing paintwork. It Worked!!
But hard to get a good photo 🙂 that’s my excuse anyway??
