Does anyone know the colour codes for the NZ SS90, I know they came in Red and Blue but have a feeling that they also came in yellow.

I have just acquired a NZ 1969 90SS that has sat under my friends house for 25 years and wanted to keep it to one of the original colours.

Most of the resources talk about the european model which I think were different in colour, but I could be wrong. Below is the yellow I think the NZ SS90 was available in.

I am now there. In Hamilton tonight, th mount tomorrow, Napier in a few days.
If it is a REAL '69er, then likely an Echo version. Lots were later model Japanese versions.
I know th whi ones were "appliance white"., but seriously... I will confirm colour ASAP.
Is it this yellow?

Mine is actually originally white, it was destined for new zealand but never got there as this was brought into Australia by the vespa dealer who is a close friend of mine.

Mine is actually white so I am thinking of keeping it that colour now.

I would be happy with the white colour code if you know it?

SS90 in yellow color name "giallo positano". i've seen it in my country (Indonesia).

For further information, you can contact one of the indonesian vespa club "campursari vespa" or "origila indonesia", you can find it in instagram. those two clubs had 90ss in yellow for the original color.
