Hi, new member here. Was an avid scooter rider in the swinging sixties and still have my original machine. Sadly, like me it has seen better days and I would like to bring it back to life. Does anyone know of restoration specialists in Uxbridge/Hayes/London area? Also, what kind of costs am I looking at? Thanks Attachments:

You could try contacting Niall at Retrospective Scooters, I have seen several of their restored scooters and if I had to give it to someone I would not hesitate. They don't come cheap but it's well worth it. www.retrospectivescooters.co.uk/

Great that you have kept it all these years..
Worth being aware that even with a home restoration, invariably the cost will outweigh the end value, let alone a proper job from the likes of Retrospective. Fine if you are doing it for yourself (which I presume you are), not viable if you are doing it to turn a buck..
