The Bridge - 1970s Porsche 911

[pete.g]

My apologies if this has been posted before:

Has anyone been watching 'The Bridge' on BBC4? I put it on my SKY+ and watched 4 episodes yesterday.

The lead female drives what I think is an SC, in a sort of Dijon mustard colour.

Does anyone know what the colour is called? (or anything more about the car in question)

Thanks.

This one?

[zeb]

she cant drive the bloody thing properly thats for sure

[cragswinter]

pea green innit? great tv show though- me & swmbo are really getting into it

[pete.g]

That's it.

Not sure that it's pea green. Looks more brown/yellow, hence my Dijon mustard analogy.

I really like it - it's a colour you wouldn't think of ordering, but on a 70s car it looks great.

My missus likes both the show and the car!

2.7 impact bumper car 76/77, the low 165 or 175 BHP car.

Nice car. Sigh.

It sounds like a flat four though. A 912E perhaps?

In the first episodes it sounded like a 6cyl but in this weeks installment it was definitely a flat four engine. Possibly the sound is dubbed on during editing, maybe next week it will be a watercooled V8 or a turbo I4.

Watched the Bridge this evening.

It has US spec front side lights and definitely sounds like a flat 4. Narrow arches, chrome window surrounds and a black grill with silver rear badge....

Really do think this is a 912E...

What a great response! End of thread

Not quite: I'm presuming MGRON is the colour in Swedish - I'd still like to know what it is in English!

It's Olive Green.

Seems PH and the noise is referenced in the Guardian:

I don't watch much TV, so was unaware of this. It's a nice colour.
