I find that the best place to see the org paint and color is under the thick
sound damping material on the back seat area.
and vin plates didnt show the
dates until the mk3s. mk2s did show paint and trim codes.
Im always looking
to find at what comm # the heater drain changed and when the rear top
edge fender chrome trim changed from long to short.
and to think about it...
when the heater box changed to fit the speedo and tech cables thru it...

Re: [Spits] Early Spitfire VIN Decoding:
Nick,
Unfortunately the color codes
and other extra information was not present on
that year's commission plates.
So it is impossible to know what color it
was unless there is some unmolested
paint still remaining or one buys a
BMIHT Build Certificate.

Congratulations Mike!
Welcome back to the wonderful world of Spit ownership.
By all means, check
your cars' info (and enter your cars' info) at, Joe
Curry's International
Spitfire Database. <http://members.cox.net/spitlist/>
That S/N would fit into
the 1964 run.
Colour and trim codes should appear in separate spots on the
data plate,
along with the year and month of manufacture.
