911.jpg

stunning colour, what is the Porsche colour code or name?

that is a circa 1986 Iris Blue coupe... For my first Porsche, it was down between an Iris Blue coupe ( exactly like this one shown ) with Champagne interior vs a Stone Grey 944 Turbo and I chose the latter ....boring car , which I sold less than a year later for an '87 triple black Targa and have  been a 911 person since. I  want to find a vintage late 80s coupe  in that same blue  color. Don't confuse it with a later Iris Blue that was a very metallic purplish much darker blue.

I was hooked on European sports cars  when my high school tennis coach gave a couple of us rides to a competition  in his  early 1970s eggplant colored  911 coupe .. before that I was familiar with big thumpa thumpa V8 muscle cars that my older sibs' friends drove , but the thrashy whine and cart like cornering of that ride hooked me for life as a Porschephile !
