Starlight or Zircon
 
Can anyone tell me if this http://pages.ebay.com/link/?nav=item.view&id=201541108590&alt=web car is Starlight or Zircon silver please? I bought this car for panels for my tourer in the hope it was starlight. The seller can't get to paint code as passenger door is locked. Cheers.

Looks like Zircon to me, especially the pic of the front end (it has the slight blue tint which Starlight doesn't have).

If the seller gives you the chassis no, you can check the build spec & colour on that production info website 😊

I'd have to agree, having a Starlight one myself, the blueish tint gives it away.
I think there were many more ZTs In Zircon than Starlight too. :shrug:

It says it's an '52 and as far as I'm aware, Zircon (MUM) which was also a colour for LandRover Discovery, stayed at Cowley with Landrover and was not available for '75's produced at Longbridge.
So odds are it's Starlight.

That's not right. The build records show that there were 394 Zircon ZT-Ts built, 113 of which were 190+s

Oh, and it seems I was wrong, there were more Starlight than Zircon. :shrug:

So it's decided then. Starlight Zircon:shrug::D

Zircon was used at longbridge, my old V6 was a Longbridge car and that was Zircon.

It does look like a zircon car, but you can never tell from a pic.
