My Li 150 Special was first registered here in the UK on 8 April 1968, and was neither silver nor gold but originally painted white with all-red sidepanels and horncasting. It has an octagonal headlamp rim, but no chrome ring below that. The sidepanels are the TV3/GT200 style.
The scooter was a horrible shade of green when I bought it in 1993 (and had a fibreglass GP front mudguard), but I managed to contact an early owner, and he confirmed that it was white and red when he had it.
A photo of the restored scooter appeared in "Scootering" magazine in December 1997 (Issue No 144), and on the back cover of JetSet No 92 March-April 1998 (for those who still have copies!!)
