Help with interior color code
Trying to determine the interior color for my 1986 930 (Grand Prix White exterior). I think it's Champagne, but can't seem to match up the code "87" with anything I'm finding online.
Here's some photos of the sticker under the hood and interior plus a photo of the car:     Best regards, Paul |

Paul- it looks a little light for Champagne but then again it is almost 30 years old - 87 could be an interior to sample of a color that was previously offered but not offered that year such as Grey Beige- usually the code for Champagne with Champagne carpets & Black dash is PE

You're correct that the car has black dash, rear deck and trim on top of the door panels. The leather still seems to be very close to original color (not faded) as it still matches unexposed leather from under the rear seat and inside front seat back.
I've owned the car for almost 20 years and now with almost 80k miles it needs a little freshening and I'm trying to color match some Surflex from Color Plus to touch up a few area on the seats. I sent a sample of the leather for them to match, but wasn't happy with the result so trying to get more information about the original color code which seems to be a bit of a mystery. Hopefully someone else might have information on the interior code. I don't have a Certificate of Authenticity for the car... maybe ordering one would be a good idea but I've heard they may not be 100% accurate. |

I had an 86 with Champagne interior & it was more of a Golden tan-looks like Mercedes Benz Palomino which would be an interior to sample- any chance of finding the original window sticker?

I'm the second owner, but didn't receive the window sticker when I purchased the car in 1997. The car is a base model with few options (no sport seats, no LSD), so surprised if it had a interior to sample.
Does anyone have a link to order the Certificate of Authenticity? I looked briefly online and couldn't find it. EDIT: Just found the COA form on PCA's website: https://www.pca.org/sites/default/files/COA-Order-Form-MKT%20006%20078%2015-2015-02-18.pdf Last edited by SB930; 08-31-2015 at 07:18 AM.. |
