Default 1983 Ghia Colour code

Hello all

Trying to work out if the colour of my Sierra is original.

States colour 03 on the VIN plate. Any idea what that colour is?

First digit 0 - Champagne Gold 82/ Regal Red 87/Matisse Blue/Ontario Blue.
Second digit - Paint model year (2 - 82, 3 - 83 and so on)
So I would say yours should be Champagne Gold and the paint year is correct.
Should also be on the bottom line of the coloured build plate but I only have information for the cosworths which were only
B WIT - Diamond White
A Zwart - Black or
K Moonstone Blauw - Moonstone Blue
on the MK 1's
If you want to PM me your Email address I can send the info for the whole Plate.
Cheers David

Hello David - thank you so much for this reply - that's really helpful. I thought it looked like Champagne Gold now, but I was't sure it had always been that colour (although it does look pretty original).
