Colours I'm aware of are Black, Red, Green, Gold, Purple {had an original 1965 TV200 with this). I believe paint done by lambretta Concessionaires and no records exist as to codes etc.

Anyone know different

As I understand it all TV200's imported to UK via Concessionaires were supplied in white . Panel flashes and horn castings etc were sprayed in UK either by Concessionaires or local dealers.

Consequently there is a multitude of "official" colour schemes.

He's right. Vauxhall emerald starmist, and Saphire starmist were used by Fletchers in Leeds.

Dealers painted things all sorts of colours. When I mentioned that I had a scooter, a chap at work brought in pictures of the TV200 that he got brand new in the sixties. It was bright orange with black panel stripes.

These are the codes that existed for the TV Series 3:
Grey (8011), White (8059), Metallic Blue(8062), Yellow (8064), panel colours for TV200 painted by Lambretta Concessionaires of Red, Green, Gold, Blue, or Black

I was at the beginning of the Mod era in 1963 but didn`t get my GT200 until July 1964, Green flash panels on white (believed to be British Racing Green) but i used to attend Brands Hatch then and the colour never matched exactly to any of the racing cars.......most scooters then i saw were as the Lambretta codes for all the other series and customising didn`t really take on until the early 1965 ready for the summer, it was then that all these scooters franchise places for spares and scooter sales started out as the ordinary salesman at a bike shop realised that there was money to be made from all these mad mods on scooters......Medway Scooters was one as i lived opposite the owner when he struck up a partnership with a salesman at Frank Bannisters in Chatham........My GT was one which led the way with the stripes commonly used on the front mudguards and this brought MS a lot of extra work for spraying ......it was our deal that he sprayed my bike for not a lot of money and i picked the colours which was Orange stripes on panels and detail on a Black frame and panels........the scooter scene then took off but as you can see by the list of colours above this list was post 23rd April 1969...........The flash on the panel must be correctly sprayed to the Lambretta Concessionaires to be authentic or the anorak`s way.......the colour of the top of the panel is the same as the frame.....
