Models that came in Super Red V
Listed for these models in Japanese catalogue colour listings. Not every colour was offered for every year or trim.
Other Toyota models outside our model library used 3P0 too.
Has a 3P0 car been resprayed?
- Find the model plate and read the code. On the manufacturer’s plate in the engine bay, usually on the bulkhead or a front strut top. It’s printed with the trim code as COLOR/TRIM (C/TR): in 040/FB20 the paint code is 040. If it says 3P0, the car left the factory in Super Red V.
- Check the V5C. For Super Red V it should say RED or MAROON. Add the paint code to our free check and we’ll compare it with the DVLA record for you.
- Check the auction sheet. It should describe the car as red and usually prints the code. A sheet that says one colour with a code for another means the car was painted before it was sold in Japan. Our auction sheet translator flags that.
- Look for the old colour where a respray rarely reaches: the engine bay, door shuts, inside the boot lid and fuel flap, and under rubber seals.
