Like the colour. I would have more of an issue with the privacy glass.

Its good to stand out and not be resale silver or black
That car needs yellow seatbelts and yellow interior stitching

Or how about Orange:
Oooooooooh, loving that, where is it????
It was in bristol a few months back, I think they said the previous owner was waiting on a Viper Green one so that will probably be available soon.
I would swap my Rhodium one for that colour all day long smile

Had a quick look at their website, no trace of it frown


Keeping with the OP my rhodium car has yellow seatbelts and clocks, suits the car nicely

I think I have discounted the yellow, I like it but seeing some of the other more interesting colour I think I like them better. I will keep my eye out for something I think. Having had a good look on Autotrader there arent ANY in interesting colurs at the moment...... Where the hell are they all?

Probably very few registered outside of the more common white, black or silver. How many Turbo/Turbo S's have been registered in total in the last 4 years?

that looks great - not usually a fan of black rims, but works well with yellow

Cars in good/unusual spec could very easily get sold without ever being advertised...I'd put a call in to a few OPC's...tell them what you're looking for and see if they can help. You might strike it lucky and find a good proactive sales person. Generally they'll know what they're likely to be taking into stock in the next two or three weeks/cars they are bidding on.

I know this one isnt an interesting colour but it is a little more interesting than the norm I think.

Good shout. GT Silver is a great colour, looks great with the black wheels and that interior isn't OTT.

Just a thought and its obviously a very personal choice on colour,so buy if you like ...but over £110k on a car with 25000 miles ? I personally wouldnt want to spend 6 figures on a car with such mileage. Nothing to do with reliability or anything ,but its a big sum to put on a car which will show signs of wear.

Mostly because I would have to pay £140+k for something newer and with less miles and £110k is pushing it a bit.

I was trying to imply (badly) there are better deals at similar money ..A quick look on PH shows aberdeen and hatsfield opc's have turbos ('s') of same age and much lower mileage for similar money..and you get their 2 year warranty as opposed to the 1 year you will get from alexanders.

Looks like a more subtle yellow than the one n my link, also is broken up with the cloth roof. Looks nice.

I would prefer to get one from an OPC and most likely will when I have found one I like/fits the bill.

Imo that would have looked a lot better with yellow belts and stitching to match the calipers

These flat bright colours were introduced by Porsche to add visibility while flat out down the autobahn. 50 Years later they still do.
Maybe on the Autobahn but 50 years later and on the mean streets of the UK, it can still be invisible
