Bring me sunshine

It’s easy to believe that big horsepower engines are the exclusive domain of two-stroke tuners. In the past two decades a multitude of kits and bespoke engines have put an easy 20bhp within the reach of most enthusiasts and only slightly deeper pockets are required to cross the magic 30bhp barrier. For auto riders the choice has been more limited, but there are readers. Since establishing PM Tuning back in 1984, Paul and his team have become well known for their tuning parts and were among the first to see the four-stroke auto’s potential. To date they’ve concentrated on the Scomadi range and Vespa GTS, but this machine marks their first foray into the world of Royal Alloy tuning. When Paul invited me over to Morecambe for a look I couldn’t grab my keys fast enough.
