Actually, the original PX-10 colour was blue (with lugs picked out in yellow I think) not white. I think the white (a take-off on the team livery dating to 1965) wasn't offered to the general public untiil 1967. So you could have it in blue or white at least up around '72. There were also black PX-10s c. 1975. I've saw one in a shop around this time. Now, personally, I think the only Peugeot colour is indeed that classic white, but prior to the mid '60s, it was that blue.
