SVX trim code registration: please submit your details

Ian

Thank you very much. That is fantastic information.

Interestingly we now have trim code information on 5 or 6 'Version L' or CXD variant cars, which is a high number.

I think if maybe another 20 or so people responded to this request for information, we could start to draw some conclusions.

One thing strikes me as 99% likely;the first number of the listed trim code denotes the intended model year for the country to which the car is exported.

e.g., all 1992 series cars are carrying an option code of 220. The two cars above are interesting examples of this. Ian's claret code 265 car is JDM market, so was released in 1991, but so far we have seen no cars with option code 120. His code is 220, which implies 1992 model year.

Brit-tic's car is one of the most unusual we have ever come across, being Swiss market. It has a rare combination of the newer and lighter burgundy paint, code 487, but is in the only market that we know where this colour paint was combined with the black roof and boot lid.

This particular car carries the option code 420, which seems to support the owner's contention the car is 1994 model year, although Earl thinks it ought to be 1995. Earl, does this car slot in the 1994 or 1995 build dates based on the production number? Do you know?

This car was in the dealership a long time before first registration in 1998.

Yes Earl.

For sure this belongs in the registration forum. It's great that people respond with details. We are gradually getting to glimpse the whole picture. Looking at just one market, the like of Joe Spitz has enough information to make it seem simple. But that is too simple.

The reality when you factor in the rest of the world markets, well that's a lot more complex. But we are getting there.

I have a chart started and will try to get it posted so you can see what we have now. We just need more to give us their information.

I just looked at 3 other cars on page 2 all with the same applied model code, and trim code, none have an option code

There is sure to be a reason for this, so just put in NONE if no option code is showing.

It may be the case that for the USA your applied model codes actually dictate that the model will be an L, Lsi, Lsl or whatever types you have in the US. These codes would then dictate what options were fitted.

In Japan the system was different. You could buy a Version E, which for want of a better word had basic trim levels.

To this basic level the original owner could specify many options, such as sunroof, leather, cruise etc. In that instance the Option Code might indicate on the assembly line what needed to be fitted to the car.

That's my theory anyway. Once we get enough information from owners we will be able to verify if this is correct by observation and deduction.

Keep the details coming.

Thanks guys.

What is the mileage on this SVX? Also, would you check the manufacture date on the tag which is on the drivers door post? It should be either 12/91 or 01/92, Thanks

[paddlesnz]

Here are the options and codes for the 1991/1992 JDM Alcyone SVX models.

Version E
CXWA23E-AX (AY) Auto Air Con
CXWA23E-BX (BY) Auto Air Con, ABS, Cruise Control
CXWA23E-BW (BV) Auto Air Con, ABS Cruise Control, Airbag
CXWA23E-BS (BN) Auto Air Con ABS, Cruise Control, Airbag, Sunroof. (Special factory order only)

Version L
CXDA25E-DX (DY) Auto Air Con, ABS, Cruise Control
CXDA25E-DW (DV) Auto Air Con, ABS, Cruise Control, Airbag
CXDA25E-DS (DN) Auto Air Con, ABS, Cruise Control, Airbag, Sunroof.

( ) indicates model with 2 tone silver and black roof.

On the VIN plate the option code includes a 'C', for example, the most basic Version E would have the option code AXC or AYC if it was 2 tone silver.

[ensteele]

Thanks for that! This is great info.

[svxistentialist]

Yeah. Thanks Paul. We were planning to decode this based on vin information from owners. We don't really have enough unit numbers logged to draw conclusions yet.

Your information is excellent.

Thanks man.
