I seem to remember that in '79, the 200s came in yellow and red, and the 150s came in sky blue, a light lime green, and white. Later, maybe '81, I remember seeing the black one with orange stripes in Turners, Birkenhead.

In the last year or so, I think I've seen a picture of a khaki green Indian GP with stalk indicators from the headset. I don't recall any in this colour being inported to the UK but I may be wrong. Towards the end of Indian production I definitely remember some being metallic silver.
