Colour code & vin translation

[nobby911]

Trying to find my colour code but noone seems to recognise mine as a proper colour code.

 

on the vin plate is the following

 

BATR BBATWC12345

engine L3

colour 79

trim H5

 

can any one tell me what this stands for

Hi

where it says falbe/colour it has 79

and whre it says trim it has H5

What I actually wanted was the name on the colour plate (thats the plate on the passenger side of the slam panel not the silver vin but the one the same colour as the car). It should have a name on it e.g if the colour is Solar Gold it will probably just say Solar.

 

From the 79 code the 9 shows the year of the car 1979 and the 7 is the code, however the only paint code I have for an Escort that is 7 is Copper Brown but that colour is an early colour and wasn't available in 1979.

 

The H5 for the trim shows it's a cloth trim in Red (or if your car is a Sport then it should have Bitter Chocolate with a Red Stripe).

 

If you can get a name from the colour plate I will try and get you a code. I hope i've been of some help.
