Hi everyone , hope some one can assist.
did lambretta retail the gp150 in orange in 1970.
if so was it orbit orange or international orange , I ask as the color orange is not listed on paint chart for the GP model.
thank you in advance

Yes, the colour was orbit orange.
But the literature on this subject seems to contradict itself.
There are many publicity photographs of GP150s in orbit orange, but the listings are missing on some of the colour and paint specs.
I 've just had my 150dl resprayed back to its former orbit orange.

I had a GP 150 someone had repainted years ago with rattle cans but it was orbit orange inside the horn casting.

This is where it gets tricky.
Orbit orange is Lechler paint code 8037
I dont think there isnt a direct RAL colour comparison.
There will be several shades that are close to it either darker or lighter.
Best to contact Lechler directly i think they are based in Chesire.
