Bought this SX150 IN 2006, Got the correct headset and restored it in my white and blue
Image
Getting near 10 years on I've decided to restore her again when I took the tool box out and the door off there was a washer stuck in the corner which was stuck into some painted over bluetack or plastercine , when I scraped it off came across the original colour underneath
Image
so I've now decided to restore back to its original colour , Does anyone know how many SX150's were made in this colour.

someone once toldme there were 250 in this colour and 100 in the orange. I have no idea how correct this is...but there seem to be a lot about now ;)

Mine is original paint and I could never restore it as they are only original once ;)

Looking forward to the completed rebuild, I'm sure it will look fab if your previous jobs are anything to go by.

Best wishes

The colour is Verde Mela ( apple green) not Verde Oliva (olive green)
