Just stripping a spanish 1979 jet 200 that had been blown over at some point.Want to keep it origonal a poss, but it looks like it's had a mix of trim. E.g. black mudguard gaskets, grey horncast gaskets,grey mats, grey bridge piece gaskets, black panel rubbers, grey footbrake pedal rubber and black mudflap.I'm reasonably certain it's not been apart before I owned it. Is this usual?
Thanks.

From what I learned when restoring my Jet I'd say that they mixed and matched whatever was handy at the time.

No, the spanish factory wouldn't mix and match the rubber trim colours. Your 79 JET should be grey trims still, the black trims tended to come out in 1980. However the Spanish owners do like to 'update' their older Lambretta's to make them look like newer ones - so perhaps the owner had started to do this? I have seen many 1960's Eibar Lambretta's complete with added Serveta Lynx sticker sets and badges!!
Suspect though, that the black trims were added when the scooter was oversprayed. Hope this helps. Cheers Perry

Thanks for the replies.
I should have said that the scoot appeared to have been blown over without any stripping and that I only noticed the different colours when I took the panelwork off to clean the paint off the trims.Gear,clutch and rear brake cables are all black and appear to be origonal s all the clamps on the frame are still in place.
Thanks again.
