Is it an original paint metallic silver with blue panels that also look original?

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.

I've managed to load a photo of the colour I'm looking for on my side panels

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

This panel shot is much more in keeping with the standard colour, a dark turquoise, as used on the 2-tone Specials and GPs, rather than the blue used on LIs of the era. I'm not suggesting that it is a match but it is much closer than some of the blues shown.

Plenty of original paint and promo photos available, even though I am the first person to say not to judge a colour from a photo!

I love that factory photo... So much going on as models changing..

I like the on the line ochre GP on right about mid way up in background, you can see the grey plastic, the red GP panel with stripes..

Ive saved it this time..

Rushy panel looks well
