Ital Scooters

A couple of weeks ago it was my birthday. Thank you. We decided to go and stay in Cheltenham, we like it there but usually just go for the day so thought it would be nice to spend some proper time there. Also, I’m in the market for buying a scooter in the next few months so thought it would be an ideal opportunity to have a look around Ital Scooters and also have a bit of a chat with the owner Nick.

If you’re a newcomer or been into them for years I can’t recommend the shop enough, although to be fair if you’ve been into them for years, and you’re in the area, you already know this. Nick was more than happy to help and just talk about the scooters. I had concerns over the fact that I am a complete novice, but these were quickly quelled as he understood what I was looking for and filled me in with the knowledge.

An impressive sight is the scooters, where these photos do all the talking, we went back a week later to get these as there was a delivery of 18, yes 18, Vespas. I won’t go on here about the history of the shop and what have you, I just want to show you pictures of the very nice scooters, but if you’re interested have a look at their website.

I’ll be honest, I can’t pick a favourite amongst these, can you?
