Has anyone got a list, or even better the paint codes, for the Mark 1 T5 please? In particular, the colours used in 1989.

If you search around on this site, you can find a list of Piaggio colours but it doesn't say when they were used:

I seem to recall they were available in red, white and charcoal.

My brother had a D plate in charcoal which would have been 86, I think the red came first then the charcoal and the white later.

Baz, Do I remember Gary having a Mk1 in the green?

Interesting. I remember the red, white, metallic red and a sort of gunmetal grey. I don't remember the aquamarine but I suspect mine may have been this colour originally. That website lists a Blue Aquamarine code 305.

I bought my Mk1 T5 brand new in 1989 - F227RDL. The colours available at that time were Red, White, Anthracite (which is the dark charcoal colour) and Silver. My dealer had a Red and an Anthracite in stock so I went with the Anthracite.

The metallic red and the aquamarine colours, as well as a nice metallic blue came later but I couldn't tell you what year.

I've got a T5 classic which I bought brand new in 94, that was a nice blue/purple colour. Ten year ago decided to change the colour to MG trophy blue, which again is a nice colour, but maybe should of got it re-sprayed the original blue as you rarely see them in the original blue.
