Thanks guys and Rupewrecht have met u a couple of times over the years been a long while

Bought it privately and has been well looked after seats carpets and steering wheel had covers on them and all is still like new inside :)
It has 220kms on it and runs like a dream guy had just fitted 17s only 3 months ago and is a great car for the price i paid ..BP motor 1800 it is auto but at the price couldnt let it go . Has Air Con Power Steer elecs etc , love it fair bit of difference from the old KE Tx3 lol .

One question already what is the name of this colour ? Its blueish/green name of the mazda colour ? Need to fix some little scratches and 2 or 3 clear peels .

Thanks

Pierre

Yes the paint code is VQ mate so noble green - is it like a pearl looks blue in the day and green with lights at night .

Is chassis code for these BA11P ?

Thanks for the info guys want to learn abit about it , hope u dont mind me asking a few questions here and there .

Pierre

[project.r.racing]

Yes the paint code is VQ mate so noble green - is it like a pearl looks blue in the day and green with lights at night.Yup, that's what I told you on FL. Some other BA colours are like that also.

Indigo Blue - Charcole w/ blue
Sparkle Green - Green w/ silver

Is chassis code for these BA11P?Yup, JMOBA11P1 or P2 or P3. Shows whether it is a Series 1, 2 or 3.

[PierresAstina]

Thanks mate thats great :)

Its a series 1 then , the chassis No starts with JMOBA11P1 cool ,

Some one told me series 1 is July 94 to August 95 is this correct ?
