896 is END, end of codes
L2 is end of the codes (same as EN2)
"896" is a code that maybe nobody knows

Just looking at the codes Jamiez has listed aas unknown.....

KG8 is a 74 only color = Deep Sherwood Metallic.

The 66 would make more sense if it was G6 as that would be a White / Green interior.

G55 = Left O/S Mirror painted

G75 = Dual O/S Mirrors Painted

The funniest thing about this particular signature is that by the time you realize it doesn't say anything it's to late to stop reading it.

Thank you very much guys.


That paint color had me especially puzzled.

White with green interior isn't such a bad green look.

the fella only wants 4K for the car.
