Those lucky Europeans. It looks like Nutella has released some limited edition jars featuring the Vespa. Between the delicious hazelnut chocolate spread and the neat graphics I would probably end up buying a case. Maybe it’s a good thing I’m still in the States.
Thanks to Alice D. in the UK for this find!

These collectible cards came in coffee packages of the Finnish coffee “Paulig”. I believe they’re from the late 50s. Paulig produced a lot of cards for their coffees and some sets featured cars and others trains. There was definitely a love of transportation themes. Note the rounded European license plates in the corner identifying the countries the scooters are from! We’ve posted about several items that have featured scooter Paulig cards in their design like this stationery line and this journal.

For the Paulig cards themselves, set up some eBay saved searches to catch them as they come up for auction!

Here’s some rally swag that should prove to be quite collectible. Thanks to longtime contributor Tom C. for the magnets and postcards.

Hey – does “Vintage Lambrettas Only” really mean “Vintage Lambrettas ONLY”? Cause I want to come! : )

Spotted in an eBay auction, this sign sure has a lot to recommend it.
Dear Paul Frank (if you’re reading this) I have such a crush on you.

Here is a reproduction metal sign for you Cushman fans out there. Original signs also come up on eBay now and then.

Thanks to Cassie for this find!

Movmoda is a new company making “athletic” lingerie in Italian fabrics. Their latest fashion show featured models doing tricks on bicycles, but alas not on scooters. Probably would have smoked the crowd to death but oh how cool that would have looked!

Thanks to Jessica S. for this find.

You would think scooters are more a “summery” photoshoot thing but both Title Nine (top) and Athleta (below) had their models too busy with surf boards earlier this year. These catalogs arrived in the mail last week and the week before.

Thanks to Julie G. for this find.

And congratulations to California on overturning Prop 8 (ban on gay marriage) last week:

Copa Football is a store in Amsterdam and decided to create something different to celebrate the World Cup. They rescued a 1985 Vespa PK50 scooter and then covered it with football stickers from the 1970s through to the 1990s. Want it? Then contact them. It might be for sale. “Don’t ask, don’t get” is my motto:
