Hi
I have a 1999 C4 Cab. in Arena Red . I have owned the car for 9 years now and been to all the major Club events but I have never seen another C4 Cab in this colour. Whilst I know this must have been a special order colour I would be interested to establish if it is unique or not. Can anybody tell me if there are any other Arena Red cars in UK. or how I could find out.
Thanks
 
An opc had an arena red 996t tiptronic for sale sometime in the last 2 years. It was very expensive too as I recall.
 
Arena Red was a standard metallic colour option on the 996 for Model Years 1998-2003. So it wasn't a special order colour, but I agree it is fairly rare, compared to the silvers and blues which were more fashionable at the time. Personally, I think it is a great colour, which suits the 996, easpecially with a Savannah interior.

how about 'ocean jade' ? had mine nearly 6 years and only seen one other, but then maybe i don't get out much ! never seen arena red either.

Swindon seems to have its fair share of odd coloured 996s.
There's a riviera blue turbo (now for sale I notice) and there was a turbo with the nephrite interior, which was a bit grim.

I wonder if anyone was brave enough to order both ocean jade and nephrite - would be quite something to see, but not for too long!
 
This one was brave enough. I believe it was owned by a chap on this forum named Simon, and the car met an untimely end a year or so ago, nearly taking him with it....
