ALWAYS THE CENTRE OF ATTRACTION THROUGHOUT THE WORLD
In 1951 British motorcycle manufacturer Douglas started production of Piaggio licensed Vespa scooters in Bristol, with a market to include some Commonwealth countries as well as the UK. Westinghouse took over Douglas in 1955, and while motorcycle production was stopped in 1957, Vespa production continued until 1965.
The Douglas factory was more than a simple assembly plant for parts imported from Italy; many of the models made by Douglas had a high percentage of content manufactured by Douglas (eg cylinder heads, gear clusters, brake drums and other mechanical parts) or by UK supply companies (eg seats, carburettors, tyres, and some electrical components were made in the UK). Models made by Douglas were primarily the Vespa 125 and 150 (VBB). Douglas produced Vespas which were often outdated compared to current Italian models.
Douglas failed to meet the production numbers hoped for by Piaggio, though after production ceased in 1965 Douglas remained the UK importer for Vespa scooters until its demise in 1982. From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
