Car colour

[Scrosbie1974]

Im having a 1972 2.7 rs recreation built and cannot decide on the colour? it currently continental orange but im thinking either signal orange or gulf blue? Any thoughts or suggestions please??

Gulf blue would be my number 1 followed by yellow, White then orange. Black is to dull for a car like that

Why not stick with the orange. Looks good to me!

You lucky boy.

If it were me, I'd go for duck-egg blue, but you can't beat a bit of orange.

How about Gulf blue with an orange stripe?

Gulf blue. I'm biased, building a light weight '72 car at the moment, I'm de-RS ing it though. Running a 3.0 engine in carbs, sounds amazing.

How about the same colour as the 997 sport classic? Different and looks almost period authentic.

Good suggestion, whats the name/code of the Sports Classic Colour again please ?

Keep the original colour! Looks amazing for the pics I've Googled.

Because it looks like primer and when you see it in the flesh you wonder what colour it will be when it's finally sprayed. properly.

That may be so but I still think the colour would look good on a 1972 911

+1, carrera script in the same colour as the stripe? Would look different, but not too different!
