Early Cup car ...

...wrong engine...

and more strange details. Definitely not a real piece of history.

Easy to imagine a broken case for race car I guess. I thought all cup cars were supplied white? Is that not right?
 
Hummm, true, and I note he has a blue car for sale. Must be making it up then. I assume porsche made the cars white unless otherwise specified perhaps then?
 
this one seems maybe a better bet... price seems pretty fair to me but wouldn't pretend to be an expert...

I'm no expert regarding Cup cars - but I believe Colin Belton has one which is Viper Green,

It is white on the early videos of 1990. You could have any colour as long as it was white! The teams then painted them.

This may have changed when the RS shells became the basis of the cups in 1992.

Do you think they would build a car like Melvs at the factory? ;O)

I´m not sure. I think the 1990 Philip Müller PZ Bielefeld car was red from the factory. In 1991 the Konrad car with G. Müller was maritime blue for sure.

Any ultimate anoraks out there?

Land's 1990 car looked like it might be red originally but I heard that a UK racer ordered a Maritime Cup and when he went for it there was a white cup lying in the yard.

He asked where his blue cup was and they basically said take it or leave it!

Colin's was definitely white in the Singen race.
 
I kind of assume teams, teams painted their own cars. So we dont know is the answer?

It makes sense that N-GTs were ordered to colour, being pitched at club racing, but cups being a one make series makes sense to be all one colour. Dont they still do that with cups? I'm sure they still get delivered in white. Of course these days its decals / wraps not paint.
 
I don't know about '90/'91, but '92 cup cars were certainly available in other colours from the factory. The spec/build sheet for mine specifies colour code 38B (maritime blue).
 
Yours is based on a RS shell Ian so they had all sorts of funny colours lying around on RS shells including peppermint!
