I have my doubts about the Heritage Certificate. The interior leather of the car appears to be original and it is tan, not black. The exterior is now BRG but a previous owner told me it was originally dark blue. However, I suppose it could have been battleship grey but the interior definitely looks like the original as it is worn and the door trim and dash are all tan. I have owned the car for 3 1/2 years.
