Ahhhh, my favourite series of yours, Tom. Yup, definitely give it a new paint job… don’t be too conservative 👏👏👏👍👍👍🙂

A really dark purple/plum/aubergine with a bit of sparkle in it for when the sun hits it would be my choice for that.

Ivory with Tan leather interior! Or some kind’ve light blue with beige/ivory interior - Absolute class!

@sp00ky1969 9 ай бұрын

I’d usually say OEM but considering what the OEM was I’d go silver or ivory. I’ve seen quite a few of these around recently and a friend has a very nice example in white. It’s a very elegant car and even though I love my 964, the 912 is something rather special.

We all love a TGE visit to Rindt, Go any colour but Green Tom..

@aaronhussain3873 9 ай бұрын

I would argue that whilst Instagram car culture has overdone the green thing, you have all the bragging rights that it was a genuine Irish Green 912 from the factory. So, I'd personally go down that route and embrace its originality!

@stewartgraham 8 ай бұрын

Signal red as it’s about as classic as a 911 gets paint wise, or for a more 1of1 but still staying in the Porsche family any of the following would look great: Raspberry Metallic Aubergine Royal Purple Linen Grey Metallic

Yachting Blue Metallic is the PTS color you need. Will have the classic look but metal flake will pop and look more modern too.

Why not metal flake Irish Green? Gold/copper metal flake with gold/copper wheels?

@jeremybarker672 9 ай бұрын

You should definitely colour change it Tom, you've spent so much on it the car deserves something special.

@nigel.w 9 ай бұрын

On the other hand, the car will be worth more in its original colour. And there aren't actually many Irish Green Porsches in RHD, period. And if he opted for a modern eye-popping colour, he would almost certainly regret it in less than a week. Initial wow factor doesn't necessarily equal long-term wow factor.

@movezzify 9 ай бұрын

He’s right, it’s had so much work done now, why not give it a fresh face. Just make it a light colour, don’t go dark.

@nigel.w 9 ай бұрын

I agree with not going dark, but returning it to its original colour would be fresh and it'll maximise his investment in the car, unless he's going to make it an outlaw.

My favorite car in your stable! Lot of emphasis on the ‘reveal’ when it comes to the colour. Personally I’d take her back to when she left the factory, and that would be the colour. Only going to be revealed once, but hopefully she is around for decades to come.

Grasmere Green. I'm not a Porsche aficionado, so no idea if that is sacrilege. But it sits in between Irish Green and the cream maybe? Chatted to an Irish fella, with a vintage Landy in Grasmere green, in France this year, and it was stunning. Especially with its sand coloured Canvas.
