Yellow looks right but would you get sick of it? Does it shout "Look at me!" too much?

What about the interior? Body coloured transmission console and seat belts, or too tacky?

Aah now these are very helpful suggestions. Only problem is you've now got me hugely confused.

I'm definitely an Audrey Hepburn kind of guy. However, I've had two silver 911s, so I'm keen to break my hatrick.

The silver interior is also a good observation - possibly silver transmission console with alloy half roll cage as suggested, although carbon fibre appeals too - hadn't thought of either of those. If it's yellow on the outside, chances are my retina couldn't stand being burned by a yellow interior as well.

As for red versus yellow - well, I still can't make my mind up. Dammit.

Now as I was driving along today, cursing my local OPC's reluctance to honour a warranty claim that was 3 days out of warranty period despite being booked in before the expiry date (long story, some other time maybe), I chanced across a speed yellow mk1 GT3.

And I tell you what, it really made my day.

If the OPC don't come through on the warranty claim, then I shan't be speccing a new model (yar boo sucks), but I'll be perfectly happy with a used Mk1... in yellow.
