Hi All,
I have acquired a K reg gp 125 in Turquoise and on flatting the toolbox lid I’ve gone through to
what looks like original Ochre so rubbed a bit of frame also not sure, would it have been originally Ochre
from factory ?

I don't think the GP125 was produced in Ochre??? Turqoise... Yes.
Could it be that you have rubbed back to reveal an etching primer (yellow)?

I also think the GP125 was never manufactured in ochre. Our website says white or turquoise. But as said many times never say never.

My understanding also ………..my First scooter was brand New from a Lambretta Dealers showroom …..either white or Turquoise …i went for Turquoise …reg .JXD 7K ……
Funny enough after owning it a year i had an accident the Dealer had it for months…when I questioned why so long……they told me they couldn’t get Turquoise ………so ended up accepting them re spraying Yellow Ochre ………
