1965 - John Bailey - North London then, Leigh-on-Sea now
"It took me two years to save up enough money for a deposit on a scooter. Not just any old scooter but a Vespa GS150 VS5. I’ve been told that my colour photo of a mod on his scooter with his bird on the back is very rare. The fly screen, mirrors, front and rear carriers and crash bars would have set me back a few bob. However, I probably picked up the shades and the desert boots, which I had dyed blue, quite cheap." http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio2/events/60sseason/galleries/1583/4/index.shtml
