Are you sure it's not a re-paint?. (log book could have been changed)

photo would be helpful ?

Correct colours - candy red and candy blue

Steve, I believe you probably have a standard blue or maroon Z1B. I have seen many of these candy paints, that over the years and in different environments change colour mostly to green. I do think, if you carefully look under the tank and under seat area of the tank-set you will find vague remnants of the real original colour.

Having said that, the original blue is the hardest of all to reproduce, I recently purchased a new Z1B tank set from PMC/ Doremi which, imho was the perfect match of the original.
