Title: Is it just me?

Is it just me or does this 1950's Oscar scooter look like the Allard Clipper?

Certainly a similarity in styling, even if you allow for the same material and colour!

I can see a resemblance but I can't find a connection.

Nar, your a Gordon owner Richard, you don't understand curves!  ;D

I think Jim is right, its  an "All clip" :)

I see it as very similar.  It's somehow all about the way the rolling curve is elongated and pushes upward.
