Original colour GP150

[Funkspeed]

Hi,

I have a 1970 GP150 (well...with a 225 Rapido!) which is currently turquoise blue per the 125cc.

As it was (I believe) originally either red or white is there any way of telling (or finding out) which it was before I lose too much more sleep over it??

Cheers

Rob

it would depend on whether it was blasted prior to respray i suppose ,you would have to cut through your paint to find out ,under the frame loop would be a good starting point

[Funkspeed]

Good idea. It does seem to have been a really good job before but you never know there may be some remnants somewhere.

Cheers!

when i had mine blasted the original orange could be seen in tight corners (near engine mount)

If it's a Brit scooter that has been registered here from new, then you can apply for all the previous keeper details and you will get photocopies of all the old logbooks which will show the original colour. That's how I found out the original colour of my old multi coloured GP200E. See: http://www.direct.gov.uk/en/Motoring/Ow ... DG_4022067

You need the V888 and it costs a £5.

Cheers for that. I'll give it a whirl. The longer I have it though the more I love the colour so who knows....maybe I can sleep after all!!

It may well also have originally been Turquoise, there were some 150's though not many.

Will be interesting to find out....cheers!

mine has been blasted at least once and still shows a bit of ochre down the fork tube try tapping out the top fork bearing and have a look if its in bits

Rob, let me know when you tap out the top fork bearing.... you may need more than the spark plug spanner on that one bro!! :bouncyeng:
