Vittorio’s museum in Milan contains the world’s most interesting scooter brands.
Welcome class.
Those of you who paid attention in the last edition will know all about Vittorio Tessera and his passion for Lambretta scooters. One of his current goals is to produce as many unobtainable parts as possible for Innocenti’s two-wheeled treasure as possible.
“Lambretta is a popular scooter, it’s not a Ferrari”, he explains. The idea of Casa Lambretta is to keep as many old scooters in operation as possible.
In this episode however, we ask him about his current distraction: Casa Performance. How does a scooter tuning line fit in with a restoration parts business? Is there a possibility to adapt the new CasaCase for larger, modern wheels?
VIDEO PART 2
In this video we also ask a few reader questions about the fabulous machines of other brands housed in his classic scooter museum located above the Casa Lambretta warehouse in Rodano near Milan.
Matthias Henze provided a few questions about German scooters including the uber-rare Bastert scooter shown in the video above.
Vittorio still has a few machines he’d like to collect to complete the scooter story – the main one of which is British. The Gloucester Unibus being probably the first example of a fully-functional fully-faired modern scooter. Can you help him find one?
Thanks to all the SLUK readers who supplied questions for this interview.

Great series of interviews SLUK and very informative from a important man in European scootering circles
I agree with Broken Boney Tony, great interview. I’d love to see the series of interviews continue with more scooter personalities in the hot seat. Manufacturers, racers, journalists, dealers, promoters…so many different facets of our scooter world. I’m guessing a few together around a table would be impossible with time in such short supply these days but I’d find it very interesting!
There is a Gloucester Unibus loaned to the Jet Age Museum by a Mike Webster although not for sale it may be possible to arrange a loan of the machine for a period of time https://www.realclassic.co.uk/unibus_scooter_1921.html
