I've finally gotten the red vinyl wrap stripped off the car from the previous owner. The wrap was not the highest quality, so removal was quite cumbersome. I'm currently looking into getting the exterior repainted and doing some repair/re-upholstery work on the interior. But for some reason, the previous owners removed the tag from the driver door well with the color codes and VIN. So I was hoping for some help with identifying the colors and thought maybe the collective community could help. I did inquire with Jaguar Land Rover classic to see if they had the information, but I haven't heard back.





This is a 1991 Classic Collection. From the documentation around colors offered, I figured this is probably Brooklands Green Clearcoat on the exterior. But it may have been repainted at some point which makes things very difficult.And the Interior I'm just unsure between doeskin, magnolia, or barley. Could be something else entirely. But it will help me with repair to have the trim identified while I wait for the details from JLR.

 

Apologies for my lack of patience. I received the response from Jaguar Land Rover this morning:

Paint: British Racing Green 753
Trim Colour: Doeskin
Trim Items: Doeskin
Special N/S Lthr Interior
Black Steering Wheel
I/P Facia Cont-Warm Charc/Wrm Charc
Black Hood (2)
Rattan Carpet
Buckskin Piping
Doeskin Seatbelts
Doeskin Stitching
Warm Charcoal Welts


But this does bode another question. British Racing Green was not offered the year of this car from what I read. Any idea how that was the factory color?

 

Have you checked the VIN to make sure it's actually a 1991? How did JLR come up with this info? What information did you offer them?

 

Thanks - yes indeed I validated the VIN and it's a 1991. I believe I have also found the information, as they are now the same color and must have been renamed at some point:
Brooklands Greens Clearcoat (1991) 753/HFB
British Racing Green Clearcoat (1998) 753/HFB

 

Ahh ok well that checks out.

 

FYI Brooklands Green is a darker color than what would be considered a traditional a British Racing Green and it looks really nice on the XJS. Here is an example: https://www.jaguarforums.com/forum/x...3/#post2681756

 

Thanks! I actually was fully expecting the color to be noted as Brooklands Green. I had looked into it on more than a few occasions and definitely like it a lot. Beautiful color. I'll refer to my painters colors for the color code and use what the suggest/prefer for that code.

 

Confirm the VIN from the 'A' Pages as there are discrepancies in MY body colors.
Please refer to the Parts Catalogue MY Ranges.

 

Thanks! I started there when I was hunting for details actually, confirmed March 1991. But when reviewing the letter scheme, i had to look elsewhere to figure out the 4th letter meant special edition - which made sense. Here's the VIN for those wondering:
SAJTW4843MC179151

The T for special edition -- Classic Collection
