Is there anything that makes you think the paintwork is original?

The white is 8059 so it is original as for the blue not so sure I tried to upload a photo but the file is to large.

You can’t download photos directly to forums. You need to download the photograph to a host like the one below first. You don’t need to open an account or pay anything.

Once you have downloaded the picture, click on the box at the side and select “Hotlink for Forum.” That will give you a link you can just “paste” to this site.

To my knowledge, that blue isn’t a standard Lambretta colour.
