The paint code is L97B. I think it was first a Porsche colour called Anacona Blue Metallic?

Ended up buying original Mars Red....so series one Mars Red....seems way more orange in the tin

I remember hearing there were two shades being called Mars Red. One was more orange in colour, which is what I think my old Mk1 was. Could be wrong, it was years ago.

Have to vote silver for best colour

This is nice, from the 79 color chart. Inari Silver metallic was offered as a GTI color in Germany

I know of 2 that colour that came in NZ new, both owned by forum members. Noel's 1.8T and Paul C's race car, though both have been re painted.

We only have enough garage space for 2 Mk1s.

Is this the one that is at gt refinishers?

Could be, but I think that might be the other Dave's one. He said it was going to the panel shop.
