Paint colours & Codes The data in these charts has been sourced from the LCGB website, Pete Davies'" Lambretta Catalogue", Nigel Cox's book - "Lambretta - An Illustrated History", and Vittorio Tessera's "Lambretta - The Definitive History", there doesn't seem to be a definitive colour list for the models, but I've tried to make it as comprehensive as possible with the information available, bearing in mind that Lambretta Concessionaires and various UK dealers resprayed some imported scooters and no paint code information is available for these machines. 50 Junior Innocenti Code Innocenti Colour Lechler Code 1174 Azzuro Aquamarina (Blue) 8030 Not Known Verde Oliva (Olive Green) 8039 1412 Bianco Nuovo (New White) 8059 Not Known Verde Oliva Scuro (Dark Olive Green) 8078 Also available in Verde Oliva Chiaro (Light Olive Green) - no details available. In the publication "Lambretta: An Illustrated History", Red is also listed as a colour for this model. The 4 speed version of the J50 was available in 2 colours only Bianco Nuovo and Verde Oliva (codes as above) Cento (Junior 98) Innocenti Code Innocenti Colour Lechler Code 1213 Avirio (Ivory) 8054 In the publication "Lambretta: An Illustrated History", Light Blue and Yellow are also listed as colours available for this model. 125 Junior Innocenti Code Innocenti Colour Lechler Code 1412 Bianco Nuovo (New White) 8059 1421/M Grigio Chiaro Met (Light Grey Metallic) 8060 1204/M Azzurro Met (Light Blue Metallic) 8062 Not Known Yellow 8064 1213 Avirio (Ivory) 8054 8030 Azzurro Aquamarina (Blue) 8030 I haven't been able to find colours specific to the J125/4 (Starstream) and assume that they are included in the above chart, similarly all colours may not have been available for both models. The only information I could find for the Super Starstream is the availabilty of a two tone paint scheme in either white / red or white / blue, described by Vittorio Tessera as "Ocean Blue" J 50 Deluxe Innocenti Code Innocenti Colour Lechler Code 1174 Azzuro Aquamarina (Blue) 8030 Not Known Verde Oliva (Olive Green) 8039 1412 Bianco Nuovo (New White) 8059 In the publication "Lambretta: An Illustrated History", Red and Yellow Ochre are also listed as colours available for this model. J 50 Special Innocenti Code Innocenti Colour Lechler Code Not Known Giallo Ossido (Yellow Ochre) 8080 Not Known Turchesse (Turquoise) 8016 8073 Rosso (Red) 8073 In the publication "Lambretta: An Illustrated History", Orange, Green and Silver are also listed as colours available for this model. Thanks to Andy Avery for providing me with the Cento and Starstream line drawings below, invaluable if you're thinking of planning a new paint scheme.
