A little
out of the norm, this may be of interest to some of you out there. The blurb
states: -
“This
Autumn and Winter, be transported to the 1950s and 60s, as Coventry Transport
Museum presents a delightful new exhibition of British scooters from these two
fascinating decades.
Whilst
many people are familiar with the Italian scooters favoured by the Mod
generation, this new exhibition showcases over 40 scooters made right here in
Britain – and there are quite a few weird and wonderful surprises in store.
All of
the scooters on display were collected by one man, Robin Spalding
(www.britishscooters.com) and they include well-known British names such as
Triumph, BSA and Raleigh, as well as more ‘obscure’ manufacturers such as DMW,
DKR and Dunkley, to offer a unique perspective on this iconic form of personal
transport.
Of
course the scooters themselves are the stars of the show, but they are
complemented by eye-catching displays of advertising, fashion and furnishings
from the 50s and 60s, to create an experience that is both nostalgic and
surprising, and is bound to get you talking!”
Admission
is FREE.
