VINCENT the VESPA

1950s adventures with Aunty Avril

Vinny and his fearless rider

Vinny the Vespa and Aunty Avril are on a top-secret mission.

They are racing across Europe, collecting clues to crack a mysterious code before time slips away.

Danger is never far behind.

As the journey unfolds, evil Russian Blue cats shadow their every move.

Pointers from curious characters test Aunty Avril’s sharp mathematical mind.

Each clue pulls them closer to a London meeting with a cat named Marmalade.

Vinny’s adventures are inspired by the real-life 1950’s scooter travels of Avril Watts.

Today, her story rides on.
