Buzzsolomoto

The company name Buzzsolomoto came about partly from Antonys nickname, Buzz, and from the spanish motor magazine 'solomoto' meaning literally 'only scooters'. Being able to speak fluent Spanish helped a great deal and enabled Buzz to meet the locals and find out more about Spain and Italy, the people, their culture and how they like to do business. Contacts were slowly built up and friendships made,and before long various people were sourcing scooters that he could collect and transport back to Blighty on a regular basis. Initially the scooters bieng brought in were sold on as complete bikes. Some of the straighter ones being restored by Buzz himself with the help of friends and fellow scoopter club members, some of the rougher ones getting stripped down and the parts sold seperately. Kev Walsh and his L.C.G.B. parts fairs, and the national rallies proved a great place to sell the scooters and parts and soon family and friends alike were recruited to help out. The small stall was soon licked into shape and before long was growing rapidly, running smoother and stocking an ever wider selection of parts both new and second hand.

Buzzsolomoto classic scooters started life in the mid 90s when Antony Beaumont (Buzz) a qualified and experienced mechanical and electrical engineer as well as a motorcycle mechanic and keen scooterist, started importing Vespa's and Lambretta's from Spain and Italy.The first few trips were glorified holidays with friends, however things became more serious in febuary 2000 when Antony was made redundant and he decided to invest his redundancy, take the plunge and open his own business buying and selling scooters. Buzzsolomoto had arrived!
