All "1983" models were built in 1982. DMC Ltd. was placed in receivership in 
February of 1982. The factory was shut down by the British government in 
May of 1982. DMC filed for bankruptcy on October 25, 1982. Cars continued to
be assembled from June of 1982 until the last one was assembled on December 24,
1982 (Chassis #DD002014). Presumably all of the 1982's that were assembled
after May 31, 1982 were designated "1983" and none of those was assembled by
by the factory assembly workers. So it is very likely that many cars assembled
after May 31, 1982 could have had "two tone" interiors for the very reason Mark
has pointed out.
