Lambretta restoration article by the late Vic Saunders RIP
has anyone got a clear copy of the excellent Scooter Restoration articles written by the late Vic Saunders ? It was published in a series of 20+ articles in Scootering magazine .
Unfortunately I don't know which year the articles were published in order to track down a copy of the magazine.
