The annual spring meet of scooter riders returns to the Isle of Wight on Sunday 28th May with Isle of Wight Lambretta Day.
Lambretta Day was an established in 1999 as a meet-up to launch Lambretta Clothing at a local clothes store. The first event was attended by around 20 scooters riders; it has grown into an annual event with over 300 scooters from local and visiting clubs, as well as solo riders.
