Thanks Jason

That code actually makes sense in light of what we have derived from SVX colour codes.

Most of the colour codes with 2 at the start originated for the 1992 model year. Colours with 4 at the start were for the 1994 model year change.

This code on your car being 947 is correct taking into account that the colour was in use for other Subaru models in 1989, before the SVX was released.

92 seams to be a vintage year that obviously appeals to you!

great find - drop by and give us look

- oh - and none of this keeping them in garages and not using them either - the SVX is a great a car and it should be against the law not to be driven

That makes sense, My 95, (11/94), Bordeaux Pearl's No is 448.
This SVX collecting trend, is spreading like a virus.

It's a disease I'd rather have, you know. The cure is much worse than living with the symptoms.

I am yet to line up the two Burgundy cars and check paint codes. There is a little bit of cosmetic damage to the recent arrival, but assuming the paint codes are the same and they are in the same basic state we'll get them repaired together (the first burgundy had a bad repair on a driver side door scrape, as has the second!)

Oh, and way to go, Jason! Sorry I was so busy trying to break in on your celebratory thread that I forgot to give you some credit!

By the way, I also have a 'want' list guys, it's in my sig. Check regularly to see if it updates, but I'm in need of a fair bit of stuff. Pretty please with cherry on top!

Harvey it's a rule that seems to apply for paints used between 88 and 98 or 99. Round about 2000 they seem to be using a different code system for new paint codes.

However it does seem to work for paints used over the period the SVX was made.

Well done!

There is a good chance that I may have some info on the car, since I saw a LOT over the time that I was looking and kept notes on them all. VIN, rego, or owner etc - sad I know!

Anyways, drop me a PM and I can try and dig out the 'provenance' as they like to call it

[svxistentialist]

James it would be much appreciated if you could dig out your old information and pass it on.

Paul [paddles] is compiling all the information on Australian and NZ held SVXes. We are trying to get a full register of all cars from all members. The information you collected during your Flying Camry Interceptor years of insanity would be priceless.
