Default Waving from Italy

Hi everyone, this is Claudio and I'm writing (and reading, so far ) from North Italy.
I finally got a '98 2.5 TD (VM) Sport in late January and I'm slowly working (spending!) on it, meanwhile I'm enjoying some offroad on our local trails...

I have a couple of issues (electrical, obviously) to be addressed and I'm sure I will find the answer on this great forum!

Ciao!
– Claudio

Still trying to figure out the name of this paint... Was this something like "Deep amethist"?

It might be Lapis Blue.

While mine seems to be "deep amethyst"...

Here in Italy XJs (and also WJs) from those years, as far as I remember, had mostly green, plain blue and this "deep amethyst purple" paint.
In fact, as soon as I saw the one I actually bought, something very familiar rang in my head, straight from my twenties...

There is a sticker on the driver's door that lists the paint code.Waving from Italy-door-sticker.jpg

I already looked at that (I read on the forum about that sticker), but looks like EMEA export XJs had some different stickers and codes...
