always bugs me that a golden special or a silver special is resprayed a different colour, but that's just me.. paint your own scooter whatever colour you like... I wasn't being an anorak, just pointing it out... have a nice day

I disagree. Some came into England painted white. Dealers then painted a second colour onto them, put a 'pacemaker' sticker on the front and sold them as 150 pacemaker specials.

Have seen promotional advert pic of these Pacemaker specials in Vittorio Tessera's Lambretta book. White with two-tone metallic blue panels.

I went with 8059 new white. Pleased with the colour. Looks quite creamy in the flesh compared to looking a much brighter white in photo's, etc. Looking nice in Supertune two tone paint scheme.
