❤️ REVIEWS LIKE THIS MEAN EVERYTHING TO US.

We’re incredibly proud to receive this review after restoring a customer’s late father’s scooter - a scooter that had been sitting in boxes for nearly 40 years.

For us, this was never just another restoration. It was about bringing a treasured piece of someone’s family history back to life.

To be trusted with something so personal is a privilege we’ll never take for granted. 🙏

This is why we do what we do. ❤️🛵

🏍️🔥 WHEN THE NEW FOREST CHAPTER ROLLS INTO VINTAGE METALS… YOU KNOW ABOUT IT! 🔥🏍️

What an absolutely brilliant visit!

A MASSIVE thank you to the NEW FOREST CHAPTER HARLEY OWNERS GROUP for making the journey up from the Southampton area to come and see us at Vintage Metals & The Piston Grind. The Chapter is based on the south coast and has a fantastic, active riding community.

The sound of those Harleys arriving was something else… and what a line-up of bikes! 🤩🔥

Plenty of coffee, plenty of bike talk, a wander around the Vintage Metals collection and, most importantly, plenty of laughs with a genuinely great bunch of people.

THIS is what the motorcycle community is all about. Different bikes, different stories, but the same passion for getting out on two wheels. ❤️🏍️

To everyone from the New Forest Chapter who made the trip — THANK YOU! It genuinely means a lot to us when a club travels that distance specifically to come and visit.

The doors at Vintage Metals are always open to you guys. Next time, bring the rest of the Chapter! 😂🔥

Ride safe and we’ll see you again soon!

💚 FRESH FROM THE VINTAGE METALS WORKSHOP! 💚

Take a look at this stunning metallic green paint job we've recently completed for a customer. ✨

The way this colour comes alive when the light hits it is something else - classic style with a seriously modern finish.

Fancy something a little different for your scooter? If you can imagine the colour, we'll do our best to create it.

🛵 Vintage Metals – Original Cool.

🔧 DO NOT DISTURB THE MECHANIC… 🔧

David is currently doing something very technical to one of the Vespas. 👨‍🔧🛵

There are wires out, a multimeter involved, several tiny components on the bench… and he’s got that look on his face.

We did ask what he was doing.

His answer contained far too many technical words, so we smiled, nodded and slowly backed away. 😂

Apparently this is one of those jobs where absolute concentration is required, so for the foreseeable future:

❌ No unnecessary questions
❌ No loud noises
❌ Definitely no “while you’re there, Dave…”
☕ Coffee may be delivered from a safe distance.

We’ll leave the wizard to his magic and hopefully, when he emerges, the Vespa will have electricity in all the places electricity is supposed to be. ⚡😂

Vintage Metals — where even we sometimes have no idea what David is doing… but we trust him!

🔥 GP vs GP – WHICH ONE ARE YOU CHOOSING? 🔥

Two very different Lambrettas. Two very different attitudes. But you can only take ONE home… 👀

🩵 1978 Lambretta GP150 (200cc) – “The Cool Current”
Turquoise, bright, bold and seriously cool.

🖤 1975 Lambretta GP150 (200cc) – “The Black Nouveau”
Black, beautifully hand-engraved and full of attitude.
✨ Over 2,000 hours of hand engraving went into this machine — every detail is individually crafted.

Both have that unmistakable GP presence and both are running 200cc engines — but which one gets YOUR vote? 🛵💨

👇 COMMENT BELOW:

🩵 COOL CURRENT
or
🖤 BLACK NOUVEAU

No sitting on the fence — you’ve got to pick one! 😎
