mgmike Posted May 27, 2020 Report Share Posted May 27, 2020 I just purchased a US spec 1973 TR6.The car is unmolested.The car is a fairly dark red with dark brown interior.I am trying to determine what the factory paint color was called and what the factory interior was called.I assume that somewhere somehow that information has been stamped on the car.I just don't know where to look.Don't know if that information is part of the VIN .Just looking for a little help.

dingle Posted May 27, 2020 Report Share Posted May 27, 2020 (edited) Most likely Carmine, code 82 shown on the commission plate. Berry Edited May 27, 2020 by dingle error Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mgmike Posted May 27, 2020 Author Report Share Posted May 27, 2020 I was wondering if it might be Damask Red.Where do I find the commission plate.Will the interior color code be on the commission also. Thanks Mike Quote Link to post Share on other sites
saffrontr Posted May 27, 2020 Report Share Posted May 27, 2020 Hi Mike, the commission plate is on the left hand side B post looking from the rear of the car as per attached image. The paint and trim codes are both shown on the plate. If you confirm the codes then I or others will let you know the paint name and trim. Note that Damask red was never a TR6 colour.

Oakwellian Posted May 30, 2020 Report Share Posted May 30, 2020 I bought a 1974 build TR6 a couple of years ago in what I think is Damask Red, originally Magenta on the factory record, but now in gorgeous Code BL99 Trim H13 [new commission plate] and coach lines! Great car now on twin SU 'S . Quote Link to post Share on other sites
