Worldly Scions,
I am seeking information pertaining to later model Triumphs with
the mystical undocumented JMA paint code. It appears that this code
might represent Tahiti Blue. It may also be an alternate code for
Pageant Blue. These two colours may be the same or at least so close
as to be indistinguishable.
So far I have identified 4 cars owned by fellow listers with this code.
I have been in touch with John Thomason about this mystery and he is
as curious as I am. Initially it appeared to be an export only option,
but John now has details of two home market cars with this code. The
earliest cars so far are 1978 models and the latest are 1981.
I have seen some M*s in this colour but don't want to go down that road
yet.
If you have a Pageant or Tahiti Blue car, or one with the JMA paint code
I would like to hear from you privately please. Or, if you have any
documentation relating to either of these paint codes, I would be most
interested. I will compile any info received and post a summary to
the list. I expect this will only apply to late model Spits and TR7s
(I haven't seen a TR8 this colour). Hopefully I won't have to go over
the "other" camp to ask these questions ;-)
I just gotta know what colour to call my car!
