This is a different look at the ID plate spreadsheet which enables you to identify an exterior colour or colour combo by the first group of digits on the ID tag under "Trim"
Dave Bottleggers and a few others were added to the sheet before this second view was photographed.

The numbers been relocated.
Car now runs a HQ front end and

By the way it's the same colour as the car in the logo at the top of this page.

Steve I noticed you havent entered the chassis number for my car on the list.

Colours: 0274-Tartan Turquuoise and 0246-Snow Crest White FB codes
With it being #4 off the line they must have forgot to tell the plate stamper of the colour code changes. Going by the colour codes they're FB colours and because I could'nt read the chassis No and the instument cluster is FB I was starting to think it was actually an FB. Does that make it a rare EK?

Engine Number and Chassis number please!!!
Steve sorry to disappoint but the car is an old custom jobby. Everything that could be removed from under the bonnet and dash were chromed. It has a 186P with a celica 5 speed put in it so the radiator support and trans tunnel have had the chop. While they were at it they decided a crush velvet loof linning would go well with the deep blue metalic paint and velvet seat inserts. Bucket seats to the front from out of I dont know maybe HT or HQ.

Hi Mick, thanks for pointing out the omission. I have added the chassis number to the spreadsheet.
Tartan Turquoise and Snowcrest White I have only found on EKs. Haven't seen either of those two colours on an FB.
The chassis number is odd, maybe the body was damaged in transit and was delayed in assembly due to that. Maybe the 3 was an extra and it was a stuff up by the stamper. Or just a plain subframe swap that has happened to a few over the years.
Bet you wish you were the prevubial fly on the wal to know the full history on these cars. I'd love to know the history on this particular car from day 1 myself. It certainly shows the passion you have for them with the details you have shared with us all.
Good job.
