There was a poster on here (Goldjono??) who got an Oslo blue Spyder. Could be his.

There was an Oslo Blue car which had been rejected by the first purchaser for some reason and has been popping up from time to time. Can’t confirm it is this one but there can’t be many in this colour.

It might be worth trawling through some threads for the last couple of months if you feel so inclined !

His had comfort seats and i do not think it was a PCCB car, I had a look at this when it was up for sale at Perth OPC.

It looked very nice in the flesh, not a colour you see much off although had comforts which is not for me really. I was up spec'ing my Spyder at the time, and there where a lot of people admiring it.

I ask because I bought it - comments above of one being rejected has got me slightly concerned, however!

I was speaking to Ally there on numerous occasions and I also saw they had a White one as well at the same time. I was wanting to see the various options to help me select my Spec. there was never a mention of anything from them and they knew I was not looking to buy these two cars due to my PTS arriving in March. Congrats on the purchase, its looks very nice indeed.

Ok so I have the literal definition of a first world problem…. I’m in colour paralysis trying to choose for my Spyder… currently have Etna Blue, Yachting Blue, Amethyst or Viola on the list.
At current progress of trying to decide… I’m going to end up getting the dealer to choose at random and just surprise me on collection day

Great problem to have!

FWIW the blue on the GT2RS is absolutely lovely - really shows off the curves and lines while also being something different.

In my humble opinion Spyders suit lighter colors as they show off the lines of the rear deck which tend to get hidden in the darker shades. I was lucky and I knew exactly which colour I wanted for mine as soon as I saw it. Absolutely no regrets either
