There was another called G-Technic Crystal Lacquer, but Google does not deliver a URL. If "your" Jazz has not yet been built, then it will be built in Swindon. Full-scale production started on 7th October. 60 red pilot production cars were built on 30th September. Before that 30 metallic blue and 30 silver. I drove a Swindon built silver one on 30th September, and we found one fault, with a window channel, the
