Not sure how Tiger interior/exterior color schemes relate to Alpine color
schemes, nor to how accurate the information is in the link below (click on
Alpine evolution, then color schemes).
I am curious what color interiors -- seats/piping/carpet -- came on embassy
black Tigers, color code 001, if that information is available. I'm sure
others are curious about their own "favorite" Tiger color codes. Did the color
schemes vary by Mk1/ Mk1A/ Mk2 series? Thanks...
