Sherwood Toning manufactered year

[stevenb]

From the list in the mk1 club on 'spotted' cars, it appears that any Sherwood Toning mk1's were all D reg. 86/87
Does anyone have any info on this.ie. from and to year of start/stop of making this colour. Anyone know where I can get access to vin number charts which will show if the car Im looking at is genuine and made within the specified dates. Did the models come with anything different than other coolurs.l
Were the prices the same when bought new etc.....
Just digging out some history about the car really.
Any info would be gratefully appreciated.
Thanks in advance

Hi Murf. Not sure on figures. I have tried browsing the net but found no joy really.
I was supposed to be getting mine tomorrow but the owner is still in Canada, so I gotta wait till 16th April at least til I can get it now...

One of the earliest MK1s in the UK, one of the press cars i believe was a sherwood toning, so i'd suggest that they were made from the off.

Thanks Lauren. I found one too. Importer advertising one. Something like the 1400th and something model made...so I guess they were made from the off.
AND I saw the first blue over white toning on the website...although it was a picture and not a real car...shame.....would love to see one in the flesh.....has anyone in the UK got one?

Hurrah...the log book has been found. And I have been given the chassis number. June 1986 it was made.

Are there two paint codes on the chassis plate for a Sherwood Toning mk1? i.e. when I go to toyota to buy some touch up paint do I get both colours or have to buy each seperate?

I'd say you have to buy both colours.
