Spotted Green 993

[Agis]

Hello everyone,

Saw a green 993 Carrera 2 in the carpark of Godalming Waitrose and my question for you lot is - what was the colour and was it available as an genuine option?

The colour was a flat non-metallic mid green which was sort of the colour of wet grass.

I have seen it on a couple of Carrera 2.7s but never on a 993 before, so it may have been a respray.

I guess if it was on official colour it was rarely chosen and I would imagine it would have an effect on future resale values but I king of liked it, had a sort of retro vibe.

Would appreciate your comments.

Could be Dragon Green. Popular on older 70s models.

Would kill resale on a 993, at a guess.

Maybe a special order paint job for the Chief Exec of BP?

One of the claasic colours of the '70s 911 found on RS models was Viper green...really suits some of the early cars.

Anyone got any pictures of either of these colours Dragon or Viper Green?

I am gonna sound like a real weirdo but I really liked the look of the 993 in that colour..but saying that before this my favourite colour for the 993 was white!!!

I think it was Viper Green I meant. CS is right again as usual

Colours here amongst some other classifieds; interesting as well is Conda Green.

Sorry Dom
The dragon green I know is the dark metallic green used on Mk3 Golf/Polo/Sharan etc..

can't quite imagine a viper green 993,,,,speed yellow is probably the safer option if looking for a LOUD colour.

Yeah, looks like Viper Green was the colour of the 993 I saw. I guess it must have been a respray unless it was one of porsches "individual" jobs...

Still I know its a controversial choice but I think it looked cool....but then as I said before I like nearly all of porsches flat colours (speed yellow, maritime blue, guards red etc) not so sure about pastel yellow or amaranth though.

Now I know why Dragon Green was front of mind: Hermann the German off these forums bought a Dragon Green VW Golf VR6 recently-ish.

I just don't know my colours like CS. (And neither does Rubystone or he'd never have bought a pink 964RS )

If it was dark metallic it will be aventura green.
