Green???

Yeah it's quite a grey green, if you google the colour you'll see it varies quite a lot in different light.

You underestimate my nerdage. I did a MOT check from my phone. It was an 03 plate with every MOT a pass and not a single advisory.

That I most certainly did

Absolutely immaculate 996 GT3 - you could have eaten your breakfast off of it. Club Sport I think - half cage and buckets. 20k miles ion the clock n 20 years.

Are you sure about the mileage ? The digital mileometer isn’t displayed unless the key is in the ignition and turned.

Not a club sport either (Slippy your beard must be slipping )

Not normally a fan of 911s - but this looked amazing. Can anyone help with the colour?

Aventurine Green on the 992's

Green???

Thanks - it certainly had a green tint. It really worked well IMO.

Just had a Chiron in matt black drive past work, on the way Goodwood presumably.

Not a big fan of Bugattis but it did look cool and made a surprisingly satisfying noise too.

A couple of formations of Mclarens have driven past too. Common as muck round these parts these days...

A bit of a cheat, but three Paganis next to the super car parking at Goodwood yesterday.

Red 812 SF in Belgrave Square when I passed through.

It's function over form, isn't it.

I don't think it's that exact car. Some details are different, most noticeably the fuel filler being in the wrong place. The Comp cars had the filler moved up the rear quarter to feed a larger tank behind the seats, whereas the road cars had the filler on the rear wing feeding a tank under the boot floor. It's also on road car wire wheels, not the competition ones with the extra row of lacing around the outside.

Based on that, I think it's 'just' an early 275 GTB with some Competizione-style body mods. Still a very nice thing though.

The one in the Motortrend article is LHD. This one appears to be RHD.
