Hello all,
I need some help with I.D. plate info for the new paint job. I currently see 3 colors, please help.
Thanks
Larry
Your data plate shows that your car was produced with paint code 308 which is the code for French Blue.

Thanks,
I appreciate it.
Now, since I have you here, it is the S17 with what interior? Mine is dark blue now, recovered in the 70's.
Your trim code 264 is for blue cloth which I believe was nylon fabric. The back of the front seat in the rear compartment and the seat bases were probably trimmed with vinyl (called Delon at the time).
The number "1" under the SG on your data plate indicates your car has solex glass which was an option.
