Two Questions??
1) Is Brands Hatch Green (983) for 71's a metallic "green flake" paint color ? [my 71 convert now is yellow and will probally paint it back 983]
2) Mine interior trim package is saddle vinyl and exterior color is 983 (brands hatch green). The 2 restoration books I have for c3's do not show this possible combination.
Please Comment

Brands Hatch green is a much prettier green than the Donneybrook green of 1970.
Interior code 417 saddle vinyl or code 420 saddle leather were both available with 983 Brands Hatch green, and were actually very popular in this color combo.

The 1971 interior color options that were available with Brands Hatch Green (983) were Black Vinyl or Leather (400, 403), Dark Saddle Vinyl or Leather (418, 424) and Dark Green Vinyl only (423).

Just got home and my trim plate on door panel reads 983 and 417. Are you saying not possible for my car. Could it have been special ordered? Advise.

The other codes I posted for black and dark green are correct.
