British made??? as far as i know they've always built'em in Pontedera, Tuscany. it is possible though the Britons assembled (and not 'make') their own.

@patramage and By the way..Douglas company  had to say thanks to piaggio because in 1948 was bankrupt and the managing director Claude McCormack made some arrangements with Piaggio to build it under licence in Bristol

@patramage put on pause this movie @0:56 Are you able to see the symbol "P"??? Well it means Piaggio!!!!

In italian "Vespa" means Wasp..They called it with that name because of the shape and the noisy sound of its engine. "It seems a Wasp", said Enrico Piaggio when he saw the prototype of this bike made by the engineer Corradinio D'Ascanio. Patented on April 23th 1946. This is Italian History. Should i doubt the credentials of your Queen Elizabeth?? Of course no..so pls respect

Douglas Vespa's were made in bristol in england in their entirety. I know because i had one!! Anyone that thinks they were just assembled here and came in a crate does not have a clue what they are talking about

Vespa is the best because Italians are the best

piaggio opened the factorys in india and spain and piaggio was getting some of the profits the factorys made but the indian factory is still open today because they sell alot of them there and you can pay £1600 for a brand new PX here in England imported from india :D there not as good as the italian vespas tho and the factorys made there scooter a bit different from each other spanish vespas had larger tool boxes then the italian or indian vespas and they sometimes used the same colour wire

Douglas was just a company Piaggio in italy shipped vespas to in crates for sale on uk market, Piaggio made its 1st vespa in 1944.The 1st vespa was made when piaggio factory in italy that made aircraft parts for germany during the war was bombed by the raf and Corriando D' Ascanio dsigned a samll scooter for getting around the aircraft factory, after the war he brought it into production and the first vespa came onto the market just after WW2.
