The Quadrophenia Collection boasts two of the most famous bikes on two wheels in the world, one being the Vespa GS-Rally scooter which belonged to 'Ace Face' (played by Sting) and was subsequently 'nicked' by ‘Jimmy’ (Phil Daniels) from outside the Grand Hotel in Brighton. There is also a 100% replica of Jimmy's Lambretta scooter which had been rebuilt using spares and extra parts from the scooter used throughout the film.

The original well worn seat, also sat upon by the beautiful ‘Steph’ (played by Leslie Ash), is on display along with other classic Quadrophenia exhibits including numerous mod parkas and clothing, lots of signed photos, film stills and original posters, as well as an awesome life size cast backdrop to name but a few.

We kicked around the idea of going last year- I think a few guys actually did go!

Jim

at the back of my mind there was some sort of "problem" with the owner.

Can't remember what it was (political??) but many people refuse to go

Chris

I was wondering if it was worth the cost and effort involved in getting there....

It wouldn't be the first time I've been sucked into some 'Museum/Collection' and found out it was a lot less than I expected

is ok, and isn`t expensive, but to be honest, russ`s jimmy bike is better than the one on show, and it is only a copy, the sting bike is ok, but after all it is a vespa only joking, littledean is bit like sex, you look forward to it, then its over in 30 secs and then you`ll looking for an excuse to leave , this is only my view by the way, not the clubs, before someone starts moaning

30 seconds eh Gerry!!


How do you make it last that long................

To pay good money to go and look at a scooter than Sting has sat on, seems to me completely crazy. Sting is, was and always will be a total twat. His music (solo) is rubbish, The Police were as naff as hell, and his acting can only be described as 'wooden'.
