Subject: [ASC McLaren ] Re: Database

Body:
"Now he wants Interiors!!"
" O K A Y "

Dark Regatta Blue - 1984/1985/1986
Desert Tan - 1984
Sand Beige - 1985 thru & including 1989
Charcoal - 1986
Light & Medium Grey - 1987 thru & including 1989
Light & Medium Titanium Grey - 1990
Scarlet - 1987 thru 1990
Medium & Dark Regatta Blue - 1987 thru 1989
Crystal Blue & Dark Regatta Blue - 1990
Oxford White - 1990 (Plus 2 "Show Cars in 1988)
Ebony - 1990

Recaro Seats standard in 1984 & 1985 & the 1st half of 1986. Recaro
Seats became optional during the 2nd half of 1986, and in 1987 & 1988.
Recaro Seats were discontinued after car #838 (dash plaque #1,317) in
1988, or at 83-percent of the way thru 1988 production. Recaro
Seating was NOT available during the last 17.5% of 1988 production,
nor in 1989 or 1990.

Oxford White was NOT available in 1988. ascMcLaren made up 2 show
cars, one for the Los Angeles Auto Show, the other for the New York
Auto Show, both with Oxford White leather. Later, they were sold.
Oxford White did not actually become a selection until 1990.

When ascMcLaren ordered units from FoMoCo they only things that they
had to stipulate in the super-fast order was transmission type &
interior color. The options it got built with was in the D32 code,
and nothing else mattered. Blue interiored cars were made in Oxford
White (Smoke in 1988) and any other interior colored car was made in
Raven Black. It was all pre-programmed into the system. ascMcLaren
only entered interior color & transmission - all the rest was
automatic ! (They also had to enter quantity, for each example).
