About Us
The Classic Scooter Company
TCSC is run by a group of scooter enthusiasts. We ride regularly with several Midlands based clubs and are heavily involved in the scooter scene but better than that we are all close friends.
We buy, sell, repair, restore and import scooters. We also sell parts and accessories to personalise your scoot and at prices that won't break the bank. We also stock many used parts to really keep scootering accessible to all.
How can we help you?
We get a mix of experienced scooter owners, returning mods and new riders come to us looking for help.
Maybe you need advice on what scooter to choose- even if it's not one of ours we are always on the end of the phone and happy to help. Maybe you want to restore your scooter or perhaps there's a part we can help you find. Whatever it is feel free to give us a call. To us the scooter scene is a way of life, it's about keeping these wonderful vehicles on the road and in the right hands for generations to come and at a realistic price keeping scootering accessible to all. We are available on 0121 459 5792 or 07592 950 940.

Who are we?
Darren Abbott - Mechanic
Darren, or 'Little Daz' as he's known on the scene rides a 1958 Series 1 Frame Breather with a 230cc TS1. Daz also owns a 1970 Vespa Sprint that was featured on BBC Doctors 'Mods & Rockers'. Daz is a great all round mechanic and enjoys his work. Daz is also the world record holder for the most cups of tea drank in one day*, 257 if you were wondering.

Gary Dickenson - Engineer/Mechanic
Gary is our resident genius, what this guy doesn't know isn't worth knowing. Gary bought his first scooter in 1984 and has been building and customising them ever since. Gary has built over 200 engines ranging from extremely original examples to highly modified. Although usually associated with the GT range Gary also has hands on experience with Casa 185, RT190, TS1, Monza, Imola, Super Monza and Targa Twin 250 including gear box upgrades, Cyclone, AF, MB 5 speed conversions. As you'll see from the photos his attention to detail is stunning!
Peter Bourne - Saturday Boy
Peter is probably the oldest Saturday Boy in the UK, I'm not sure how old he is but I'd guess at about 90 something! He often accompanies the driver on pick-ups and collections so you may meet him out on the road but he can usually be found in the shop on weekends generally looking lost and making a mess. Ask him about the time he accidentally tazered himself! Pete spent years as a roadie for some of the big names such as David Bowie and The Who, he's got some great stories! He's no scooter expert but he's a lovely gentleman who will make you feel welcome and make you a drink.
Wendy Lloyd - Owner
Wendy is the owner and keeps the lads in line, or tries to! She also works in television production and started the company after selling her Harley Davidson and buying a Vespa P200! She also wrote this and is a really really really nice person!
