Spotted yesterday.

Anyone on here? Does anyone know it :?:
 
If you check out the 996 GT3 For Sale thread on pistonheads (its about all things 96.3 really) i think it pops up there.

I believe theres 2 painted riv blue, though one was a cat D (this is all from memory).

At the GT3 only meet at Silverstone Porsche Day years ago, one turned up that was wrapped

One of them used to be mine, well it was silver when I sold it, but SCOM painted it blue & it wasn't on the register....then!
 
Just looked on our super secret facebook group and there appears to be only 1 official Riv Blue made for the UK,

But theres 2 i 'know' of
+ one that was wrapped a few years ago
+ someone has just repainted theres maritime(?) blue, which has the RS spoiler and black winglets.

Obviously not all come on PH or FB though
 
Not a 996 but it is Riviera !

Looks like Nick W's car Terry. Take a look at his photos to confirm.

Nope, Nick's car is Voodoo Blue - a colour so special that Porsche seem unable to reproduce it as a touch-in pot :roll:

Really? Wow, two beautiful blue hues on the block.

That's pretty grim re the touch up pot, surely it can't be that hard for Porsche to produce one?

Yep, one of only 2 in the UK. I suspect it's a case of CBA as it's a PTS colour but pretty poor nonetheless. I've advised him to go to a decent bodyshop where they'll be able to analyse & reproduce it.

Had my Riviera car out for the first time in 9 months the other day for a charity event. I'd forgotten how much it attracts attention (in a good way).

Good call :thumb:

I'll send him a pm and ask.
 
Yes, it was me T8. I have replied to your PM. Mine was bought from Specialist Cars of Malton (SCOM) so at last I have found one of its previous owners - Gary H . Hopefully mine is not the Cat D one as I never got it checked out although SCOM seem to have a very good reputation :wink: .

I have attached a picture I found on the internet. Was that its original registration plate? Apparently you are a solicitor - ? Not sure what you solicit.

Pip
