Hello All

I was hoping someone could tell me the colour of the trim in my car.
I have checked the number against the codes on your website and I cannot see it listed.

Any information would be appreciated.
Thank you

The exterior colours are India Ivory with a Royal Marine insert, and I would suspect (based on the pattern of numbers) that the interior scheme is probably Venetian Turquoise & Parchment Ivory. Is that what it looks like?

Ken (mcl1959) can probably give you the definitive answer.

RET's right on the money ;)

Thanks for that,


Now all I have to do is decide which colour is the Venetian Turquoise. The interior seems to be original. There were 2 sets of seat covers when I bought the car, so sun damage seems unlikely. It looks like some of the vinyl has changed colour over the years. The front seat is a greenish blue, but with one panel blue.

The piping on the front seat is blue.

The door panels are blue.

The rear seat cushion is blue, and the back is greenish blue. The piping on the rear seat is greenish blue.

At some point I would like to have the vinyl brought back to the original colour, which means having it colour matched and spraying it.
If anyone has seen a Venetian Turquoise interior, perhaps they could let me know which of the two colours it may be.

This is the first FC Holden that I have seen so I don't have anything to compare it with.

Thanks
Mike

It's the greener one. I've never seen fading occur like that on your car where a panel fades differently - It must have had different die lots used when made.

Thanks Ken

Glad to hear that its the green, I like the colour better than the blue.
