Am planning on getting a 912 in the next year or so.

Saw this one at the Silverstone Classic a couple of years back and thought the colour was gorgeous.
Anyone know what it's called?

Had a look at Porsche paint number / codes for 1968-69, think it could be one of these.


Light Ivory 6804 131
Medium Ivory 6821 - 132
White (Light) Grey 6832 - 620
Cloudy Grey 6833 - 621

That looks gorgeous, but I don't get the appeal of a 4 pot porsche when a 6 is what ticks the boxes for most owners for the aural delights wink

Sorry, can't help with the colour but looks more beige to me (viewed on my phone)

Loads of 912's seem to have been imported from California.
Think we can safely say DVLA have listed wrong with the colour!

I'd love a 6 pot Porsche, but cars of that era are well out of my budget!
When I started thinking about a 912 in 1995, you could pick one up for about £6K. Prices have nearly doubled since then!

Someone else has suggested the colour might be
Porsche Beige Grey - 70192

My money's on beige grey too. It was definitely a special order colour on 2.2 911s so may well be right for a 912 too.

Wow, great work. Thanks Bert. Can't believe you've found the exact car (and it was based in Leamington, right next to where I grew up!)
Absolutely wonderful 912. Such a huge amount of work has gone into preparing that car. Getting it into the MIRA wind tunnel must have cost a fortune!

Now just need to find one a little closer to my budget. If beige grey was a special order colour in 1968, there can't be many about!

Hi just came across this thread trying to track down my old car NAv 190F as I am back in the market! Glad you like the colour it is orginal and fairly rare, any joy in finding a 912?
