Production numbers and paint codes

[pugwonk]

These picture have been floating around for a while - I've no idea where they came from and I've got no idea how accurate they are. But the paint code one seems to say:

• 202 (Black): 4889 built
• 8J9 (Blue Mica Metallic): 2337 built (dark blue)
• 1B6 (Gray Metallic): 592 built
• 8M3 (Blue Metallic): 581 built (light sky-blue)
• 6N9 (Ebony Teal Pearl): 343 built (dark green)
• ICO (?): 124 built
• 040 (Super White): 11 built
• 065 (White Pearl Basecoat): 2 built
• 475 (?): 1 built
• 6S6 (Midnight Pine): 1 built

This gives a total of 8881 cars, which isn't quite the same as the 9357 that the production numbers pic has in it, though it's not all that far off!
