I think so imo, iv seen the coffee s2s in the flesh and I don’t think it’s the same ? , this is like a really light sandy beige that’s almost a grey is the best I can describe it! , I was talking with Paolo catani (ex Rimini and racing lambrettas website) and he said he’d come across 1 or 2 in Italy and a guy sent me pics of 1 he’d worked on in the u.s....

I thought the beige was only available for 125s though. I assumed yours was a 125 as I thought all li150s were dual colours.

It’s only my second ‘barn find’ ever! The first was a rotten vega about 30 years ago so I was due one

The S2 in your other thread, from the same dealer, has mudguard mounted straight stick-on front number plates, so maybe this one originally had that type too.
