Telegraph journalist Adrian Bridge takes a step down memory lane, taking his modern-day Vespa on the infamous London to Brighton run to recreate the steps (or I guess we should say tracks) left by Jimmy The Mod AKA actor Phil Daniels in the infamous 1979 scooter culture movie, Quadrophenia on its 30th anniversary.

By his own admission, Adrian doesn’t really feel a real mod, but the video has some great moments, with Adrian visiting some of the key scenes from the movie, hanging out with local scooterists on a promenade run, and visiting Brighton’s famous Sixties clothing store, Jump The Gun to get his hands on a tonic suit.

Check out the video below, or click through for the full article.
