Spring 2020 No.82 No.82 Spring 2020 EDITORIAL Happy New Year everyone! Not only a new year but a new decade and 2020 is also a leap year, to borrow tradition from the Emerald Isle, perhaps some proposals of marriage from the fairer sex within the club this year on February 29th?! Early January and my thoughts are already This issue has some excellent member returning to Vespa riding for the coming year contributions, bringing an international flavour, brought on by the balmy January weather we with stories from New Zealand, Netherlands, are having here in the UK, with temperatures Italy, South East Asia and the United States, as in the low teens! Global warming is never far well as the UK.

Whether you own just one, many or even none at all, the club aims to be for everyone. Me, I just have the one but I’m always interested to come across a collection like the one belonging to US member, Patrick Albregts. I find it interesting how said collector got ‘bitten’ and whether they choose full restos, preservation/rusteration or maybe a combination of both and that’s before you 1953, was the introduction of an even more get into spare parts and accessories! Patrick affordable Vespa called the Utilitaria or simply last graced these pages in Issue No.80 with “U”. While scooters by nature were among his beautifully restored 1951 Allstate; this the most affordable forms of transportation, time around he writes about his ultra rare Piaggio sensed a need for an even more 1953 Vespa Model U. I’d be very surprised cost efficient model and thus the “U” was if another exists within the VVC membership born. Priced at 130,000 Lira (about US$ 175 and am very grateful to Patrick for sharing or £136) the “U” was about 15% lower in with us all the details of his 125U… price than comparable 1953 Vespa models. To offer the scooter at a lower price, Piaggio “The end of WWII brought a need for massive aggressively cost reduced the “U”. While rebuilding in Europe and around the world. One the engine and frame were similar to those thing that was very sought after was affordable used on other 1950’s 125 models, there were transportation and in the late 1940’s, both numerous changes made to the “U”. Every Piaggio and Innocenti addressed the need part of the scooter that could be painted was. with the introduction of motor scooters. While The handlebars, seat springs and even the both companies enjoyed success, Piaggio won Vespa leg shield badge were painted. In fact, the battle for style and looks with their iconic about the only chrome part on the scooter Vespa scooter. The Vespa 98 was followed by was the headlamp ring. The front mudguard the 125 and ultimately the GS, which is still and engine cover were cut away to remove considered one of the most beautiful scooters material from the scooter. The foot well had ever designed. In the midst of all of this, in only six track strips versus nine on most other Vespas and they were made of aluminum, with no rubber strips on them. The brake pedal, kickstart lever and stand also did not come with rubber covers. The storage cowl lid did not have a latch but rather a simple spring loaded door. In a first for Vespa, the headlamp was located on the handlebar and was the smallest ever used on a wide body Vespa. The saddle was also smaller and did not have a front spring, while the handlebar mechanism did not lock. All of these things succeeded in reducing the cost of the “U” and allowing Piaggio to sell it at a lower price. In the end though, nobody really cared. The modest 6 7 amount of additional money necessary to buy faithfully and exceptionally restored in Italy the better, original Vespa models caused most in 2018. The frame, engine and most other buyers to look past the “U”, which led to the significant parts and components are original model becoming a fabulous flop.

The results are translated into exclusion limits on models with large extra spatial dimensions and on pair production of weakly interacting dark matter candidates.

  • Nostalgia and Representations of Mod in Quadrophenia and Absolute
    ‘This can’t be the scene’: Nostalgia and Representations of Mod in Quadrophenia and Absolute Beginners Author[s]: Jamie Zabel Source: Moveable Type, Vol.12, ‘Nostalgia’ (2020) DOI: 10.14324/111.1755-4527.108 Moveable Type is a Graduate, Peer-Reviewed Journal based in the Department of English at UCL. © 2020 Jamie Zabel.

Moveable Type 12 (2020) ‘This can’t be the scene’: Nostalgia and Representations of Mod in Quadrophenia and Absolute Beginners Jamie Zabel This paper examines critical commentary on The Who’s Quadrophenia as well as Colin MacInnes’ novel Absolute Beginners and other prose writing to locate the nostalgia for youth culture, specifically Mod, that these texts articulate. Additionally, this paper performs a comparative narrative analysis of Absolute Beginners and Quadrophenia which establishes that these texts speak to Mod/pre-Mod superficiality and its ultimate failure as a subculture rather that its potency as a subcultural form. As a result, a comparison of these two texts calls the nostalgia that the album particularly generates into question. * Introduction On the surface, Colin MacInnes’ novel Absolute Beginners and The Who’s album Quadrophenia tell the stories of young white men who find a sense of belonging and identity in the Mod subculture, a way to challenge an overbearing and dominant parental culture. However, in the end, both of the texts’ protagonists become disillusioned; the Mod subculture does not offer the belonging or sense of purpose that they thought it would.
