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

QuoteEnded 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  :)
