I "think" it is Chianti red ... but don't hold me to it.

<Added> Yep, I was able to find a reference to it and I am almost positive "Chianti red" is correct. A friend of mine had the exact same colour when I was a kid! See: http://p456y.tripod.com/scooterbottegavariousscooters/

Amazed that I remembered that! I can't remember what I did for dinner last night but this I remember! Laughing emoticon
