If 623 was an option, it would be in the options list, but it is on the spot were the colour of the car is indicated.

It may be creamy white... I found a color chart yesterday showing the color options for leather in 1985, there where two cream colors, like mine (very close to each other) but no white. So I'm guessing the creamy white is what we are looking at.
As to the paint, the car has been repainted in the past, poorly. (Lots of runs, and drips, some over spray) BUT the color in the engine compartment etc matches it. Judging by the crappy job done, there is no way they resprayed all the hard areas. Besides, the paint in the engine compartment shows the correct wear, it's defiantly the original color.
It would be nice to know for sure, because I want the car repainted to the matching factory code using the correct paint. If it is indeed ivory white for some odd reason, all the better as I like white cars better. But that still would not explain the current color of the cars (not normally painted areas) like said engine compartment, under the hood, floors etc...
