A VERY belated Happy New Year! It's been a while since we last emailed and we have quite a lot to tell you about!
THE QUADROPHENIA EXHIBITION
After a tremendous 3 month stint at Pretty Green's flagship store on Carnaby St, London, the Quadrophenia Exhibition is now closing. It was a great success, hope you enjoyed it.

WHOBAY WINNER OF THE VESPA PX
Also, the exhibition finishing means that we've finally been able to send the WHObay prize winner the one-of-a-kind custom made Vespa PX, which was the centre-piece of the exhibition!
The VERY lucky (and skilled) winner is Sara Roberts!
Her winning 'bid' was £165. A panel of scooter experts took careful consideration in calculating the amount that the original Vespa GS would have sold for in 1965 and Sara was one of a number of people who 'bid' the correct amount, so was picked at random from those correct entries.
TALENTHOUSE 5:15 VIDEO WINNER
Another competition to have closed over the past few months was the Talenthouse competition to make the official video for 5:15.
It was a really tough call as we received so many fantastic videos and were very impressed with the creativity and passion on display. After much deliberation, Jeff Rodenberg of Minnesota's entry was selected and you can watch for yourself HERE.
THE QUADROPHENIA VIRTUAL SCRATCHCARD WINNERS
Finally (in terms of competitions anyway), the winners of the Quadrophenia Virtual Scratchcard competition have now been contacted (or will shortly be) so there are 176 prizes, ranging from an amazing KEF Surround Sound System, limited edition Pretty Green Parkas, Vespa goodies and exclusive Quadrophenia products, winging their way around the world as we speak!
