Maritime Blue

That's lovely. That era of Porsche came in some great colours.

I remember falling in love with the Rubystone 911 3.6 Turbo which Georg Kacher tested in Car.

[BUG4LIFE]

Two for one...

Is that really called Dog's dick red?

I thought Dog Knob Red was only a Porsche colour.

Excellent thread is excellent

Two that spring to mind is a clio v6 in either deep bronze or moonlight blue. Only 1 of each!

Ruby stone is nice but Karminrot on the early 911s is awesome into! Think 'hubba bubba'.

Gemballa 911 in riviera blue.

Every single one of these colours is a better choice than silver/grey!

[jontymo]

My old Z3 in German "British racing green"

Good excuse for a photo.

R32 GTR in Dark Blue Pearl.

With the exception of the white Elise and the flip-paint Primera, I like all of the combinations posted so far. The green especially suits the Porsche.

I saw a pink old type Picasso the other day.

Yuk.

Pink is unusual on most cars TBH.

Oh I'm not so sure Vauxhall made loads of pink cars in the late 80's and early 90's

Just trying to remember the colour



it's on the tip of my tongue






I remember "Flame Red"

Are green cars still considered unlucky?

No - just green boats

White looked better but still doesn't do such a superbly styled saloon any sort of justice...

That looks so much like a 100/A6 C4 in that colour. I thought a PHer in the US had a C4 in that shade but I can't find the thread.

[Negative Creep]

One of the only cars where this is actually an unusual shade

[so roll me further bitch]

Tuscan in night fire red

[Noodle1982]

Not sure if it was available in the UK, BWM Z4 in Urban Green

Volkswagens of the era were pretty bad for it too. But my uncle had a red Vauxhall Omega that faded horribly

They look like fire engines.
