Are Spyders Becoming Extinct At OPCs!

[MrDemon]

would not have had this colour on a standard car, and it took a while to come to like it and buy the R in this colour, but now I love it. It gets noticed and the kids always give it a thumbs up

Interesting subject, the psychology of car colours-is it peer pressure or what that spreads the rumour that certain colours won't sell in the future-I think nothing is more boring than a parade of light silver cars-however one of ours is Stein Grau,one Guards Red & the BMW Dark Blue. Unfortunately ,it works on me because IF I were ever to afford a Ferrari-I'd want a red one. Does Porsche have Colour Clinics to establish new car colours when it brings out the next models?

How much more or less work is required keeping the black gloss wheels clean compared to your Spyders all silver wheels Pondering going black[:-]

my Spyder has PCCB's and only gets used in the sun, so they never get dirty My R gets uses all the time but I use wheel wax

I think Porsche has a pretty regular palette for new car launches and then occassionally tries something new. Just off the top of my head: Boxster Spyder - white 997 Carrera GTS - white 991 GT3 - white 997 GT3 RS 4.0 - white Carrera 4GTS - coupe yellow, cabriolet aqua blue 997 turbo - don't remember, I think silver 991 turbo - don't remember, I think silver 997 GT2 RS - I think silver (forgettable) Panamera GTS - red 997 Speedster - mexico? blue 997 Sport Classic - i'll call it grey Cayman R - Peridot green So, generally white, yellow, silver, some red, some blue I reckon. When they try something new I wonder how they come to choose it...

Crikey Prof - We could form a team and go on EGG HEADS with your memory/knowledge! I know who would get my vote for Captain[ My recent memory is of the Silverstone Classic. Porsche held a competition and the lucky winners won (or, got the privilege to buy) the 911 991 Club Coupe. The following day two were side by side on the grid for the 911x911 parade lap The photo below shows the only two right hand drive ones in the world together. Unlikely to ever see two right hand ones together again since one was won by a UK guy and the other someone in Hong Kong who had flown across to join the event and parade.

As you can see these cars were in the only colour available - Green!

On a visit to the Museum I recall reading about and seeing a few Green cars. Seems Ferry Porsche had a weakness for a touch of Green. See some of Private Collection displayed:- http://theautolounge.net/lounge/index.php?topic=1185.0

John one for your collection and it's "Green"[] http://www.carandclassic.co.uk/car/C405250#

the 997.1 GT3 RS is very very sort after in Viper green and fetch's a lot more money, nice though it is I liked the orange one best. But the single Cayman R in viper in the UK is a rare thing.

 

[homerdog]

Which of those Viper greens is more accurate though, the RS or R? The Cayman does look a bit dull in that pic, should it be a bit more like this?

A Spyder would look nice in that colour!
