Beside the scooter stands a second mannequin dressed as a motor vehicle technician, wearing a red jumpsuit, wind goggles and holding a cigarette. The walls are painted blue. A banner at the bottom of the display reads "Zooming in from Italy... Bonwit's exciting new Italian knits... Sports Floor the Fifth... Zooming in from Italy... The news making Lambretta...
