Other readers may then mix up those codes with their painter/shop to see if it is correct or acceptable for a particular application...ie; :for "Jaguar Racing Green, we sprayed PPG color DBC 47xxx" and so on. It would probably open up quite a discourse on current color codes. Probably 75% of the codes in the "Resources" link are no longer current with worldwide paint manufacturers...Does that make sense?? It is late...It is imperative that the paint supplier, ie: PPG, Glasurit, Dupont, etc is stated, as well as the paint type (urethane, enamel, etc) and factory code is stated. Moss Motors tries to supply old paint codes in their catalogs for particular applications, but this info is useless as the codes are obsolete, and are not recognized by the companies due to re-formulation of mixes to comply with VOC laws, etc. The numbers change with reformulation. Cheers, Mark.PS: I will try to forward some updated photos of the '67 OTS, as well as the '74 OTS and '65 FHC that have found their way into the Jones garage.

When I asked about the car I forgot one very important piece of info. What model year was it? A guide showing the changes/updates for each year of production would be useful.

In asking about the car, I forgot to ask what year it was. I have no idea what changes/features distinguish an '89 from a '90 (if there are any), so a guide showing the changes for each model year would be useful.

A search by owner for cars on the websites (like XK and E, for example) might be useful. Some of us have added owner photos, so it would be interesting to see what cars a given person owns. 2.) I've often wondered how cars are added with just the serial number and very little else. Adding an explanation of how the post came to be; example: found in magazine XXXX, or listed for sale on XXXX. website, or met owner at the 7-11, etc. Jerry Oliver Olympia WA Hi Roger,

The ability to seach by the name or email address of the person who added a car or posted a comment. I have added cars in the past and then wanted to find the entry but couldnt remember the chasssis number so had to do a search based on model etc to try and locate the entry. Another search idea.
