Take a photo of your compliance plate.
Just cover up your car's body number.
We'll tell you which one

That IS your compliance plate, it is the option plate you need. I am sure someone here with a early Lancer can take some pics for you.

LA's dont have an options plate just a small rectangular plate with the paint code on the LHS attached to a screw on the pleneum cover, find the code for Lancer in '74 there will only be one colour (and its a pretty crappy silver anyway)

I had a look for a 74 lancer and it came up with 4 silvers? Well they had different codes

Maybe you can find the colour code here: http://www.uniquecarsandparts.com.au/co ... hi_M-Z.htm ?

If not, there are also other sites on the web, just google for "paint codes" and brand...
