My Monza
This stunning Series 1 owned by Kevin Emmott really caught my eye last weekend at the Ribble Valley Scooter Rally Weekender in Clitheroe, the Town was buzzing and hundreds of Scooters lined the little streets.
Through the power of Facebook I managed to track down Kevin this week and he had very generously agreed to complete the websites “Custom Scooter Questionnaire”.
