“I’ve done custom interiors for sheikhs with monograms and crests embroidered on the headrests. Me, I drive a violent purple Vespa with a quilted paisley seat. I like Mod style and music.  I’m a member of the Norwich Mods scooter club—we get together and watch Quadrophenia for the umpteenth time and go northern soul dancing at the Downtown Soul Club in Dereham. There are a few of us Mods at Lotus.”
