Trim code SDA - what colour is that?

[davidr]

Hi all - my 1989 V12 coupe has the trim code "SDA" and I can't find anywhere what colour that is.
The trim is a light cream smooth leather with blue piping. I think it's lighter than Magnolia (AEM). It appears to be better quality than others I've seen and I think it's original.
I wonder if perhaps it's a special order or maybe the Autolux type as fitted to the Le Mans?
If anyone can shed any light I'd be grateful!!
Thanks

David,

The only standard colour combinations I know of which sound like your colour are doeskin or magnolia. They were (in theory) the only beige-type colours around 1989 that were spec'd with blue piping, apart from LeMans cars (which could be had with Cream with blue piping). Are your seats original?

However, neither magnolia or doeskin are SDA, so this is a new one on me! Could you please email me a photo of the paint and trim code plate which has the SDA code. Tks. I'll then see if I can help you out.

Also, you don't seem to have entered your vehicle details in the XJS Register with the paint and trim codes. I'd be very grateful if you could please do this when you get a chance Tks.

I had a look at a photo of my plate and to the right of the actual trim code (LEF in my case which decodes as Cheviot Tweed but it actually has Saville Grey leather) there is another box with the letters "DA", but I don't know what that denotes.

Mystery solved?
I've been in touch with the JDHT who were very helpful. They've told me that my car has Parchment Leather with Isis Leather piping.
They didn't know what the 2 letters (MC in my case) after the trim code mean. There is some thought that it relates to the piping trim code but that would be JEF for Isis Blue so who knows?!! Perhaps it's the carpet colour?
Does anyone else have a car with Parchment leather and can you confirm the trim code is SDA?
