I owned a restored to original Lambretta Li, series 2, until recently. No bells, no whistles, just 12v and electronic ignition to distinguish it. Lovely lines-don't get the Christmas tree obsession myself, but love scooter style.

Ah, I read your initial post, and because of the 'bells and whistles' description, thought you meant boys on scooters, generally, as that is definitely a 'mod' scooter you describe.

Now, scooter boys-grass skirts, mohicans, king kurt, dm's, cut down panels. Oh dear oh dear.

The BNP are bound to recruit wherever they can, just as the SWP and WRP did in the late 70s, going for RAR types in and around punk gigs.  They were scum, too.  I live a few miles away from a real BNP hotspot, and they used to go into a shop opposite a far right meeting place (a boozer) for polo shirts and Fred Perry jumpers.  The owners were deeply into soul and ska and tried to discourage them; but they couldn't keep them out. 
Racial predjudice was part of the mod/skin revival thing around 1978/9.  Punks had tended to go in for dub: cooler than punk: but there was a nasty tendency for the skinhead types to wreck Sham 69 concerts.  I've touched on this type of thing before, posting as Chetmiles.  Pursey wound up having a nervous breakdown over it. 
My black mate shakes his head over soul fans hating black people.  Speaking personally, my music can never be quite black enough, which is why I find a lot of soul dissatisfying:  Motown is the best example I can think of.
