Different VN build sheet
Hi everyone,
Bit of thread mining here, but hey. Looks like the best thread to post my question here.
I recently bought a 5 speed VN S pack from a friend for the sole purpose of using the V6 and 5 speed in a Cortina. However, I quickly found that it drove REALLY well and it seemed a shame to wreck her.
So I spent a bit of coin fixing a few things (Speedo sender, Clutch, Calais seats)
One thing I couldn't work out was the paint. Compliance plate said 1F/1075-Maranello red. Which it isn't. Had a few others suggested to me Phoenix Red- its not metallic. Durif Red- Not that dark.
Had me stumped. Then I found this thread, so I went looking for my build sheet. As luck would have it, it was still there.
I've decoded the options list at the start, which all matches, so no problems there.
Also, it shows that my VN was used for a paint trial. 1F1047- Permanent Red. Which is a VL colour.
The thing Im finding strange, compared to the other examples shown in this thread, is the third line #D.Harkin and onward.
Also the hand written SVO8006 and the fact its on blue paper.
If anyone has any idea what it means, I'd be very interested to find out!
Here is a scan of my build sheet, with the last 6 digits of the VIN blanked out.
