Going green

[Jellyfishfields]

Great choice, love the colour.. those wheels are tasty too Not long joined the Porker club myself :driving:

Very nice also, I've been thinking about changing the side graphics to what you have. I'll need to have a think about that.

This is my other half’s car. The amount of compliments she gets when out and about is unreal.

Looks awesome, I've never seen a TT in that colour, do you know what it's called?

 

[Jellyfishfields]

Love the colour pal and the proper seats did a similar journey couple of years back picking a C63 up from Sunningdale you must be near Aberdeenshire then ?

Cheers, yes I'm in that area. Most of my cars end up coming from down South somewhere, much more choice

Very nice Car - I ummed & aahed between a Cayman S & a Z4MC back 3 years ago - but I struggled to find the right Cayman, and when my Z4MC came up I couldn't resist! I really wanted one with the LSD but they seem to be quite rare, and getting the rest of the spec to align as well was proving quite challenging!

Enjoy the new one, shame the M is going - it's a stunner too!

Could do with a multi quote feature on here Although I'm sure there mast be a way of doing it? Anyway.

I was the same as you, couldn't decide which one, but a good Z4MC came up first and that was that.

If this Cayman hadn't turned out with this spec I would've been very happy to keep the Z4M, but as you say a Cayman with all this bits on it are scarce, was a no brainer to at least try and buy it.

However, I loved having the Z4M. Such a raw car, fantastic noise and great one off looks. I may end up with another in the future, it's a unique experience.

By the way, the Z has gone already, really nice guy took it away on Sunday to add to his growing collection. It was a car he'd always wanted, once he saw the condition, that was it. I was sorry to see it go, but happy that it's going to a good new owner and fairly local so I'll hopefully get to see it now and again.

It’s called Viper Green. A £2K special order paint when the car was new apparently. I’ve never seen another in this colour and I must admit I’ve never seen a Porsche in that colour too. Looks great in my opinion.

So it's the same colour then, I did wonder

 

[Johnbmwz4]

So the Porsche is Viper Green too?

I love that colour on your Cayman.

But then I love orange Porsches too! There is too much silver/grey/black around these days.

It's all a bit confusing, and it depends who you ask.

My car was advertised as Viper green, both when I bought it recently and from an older ad I found. However, from what I've read Viper green is the name for an older paint that Porsche used some time ago. The paint code on mine seems to equate to Porsche RS green, and to add to the confusion Porsche have renamed it to simply "Green" or gruen in German.

The paint code in mine is 2D8, would be interesting so see what code your wife's car has, in a TT I think it's is in the boot?
Here's mine.

Can’t find anything to do with paint codes in the boot but apparently it’s in the first page of the service book. Attached is the sticker in the book but not too sure what the colour code is

It it helps both are definitely green :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

No doubt about that

I think it would normally say paint or lack in front of the code, the sticker may be in the spare wheel well.

If it's a Porsche colour I think it will be 2D8 or 225, whatever it is, your TT looks great. Some info below on the Audi colours and codes if you're interested.

She must be extremely good looking, as I can't see it being the car TBH. oke: :lol:

Green is not a good look on any car IMHO, but as the old saying goes "each to their own".

Apart from the modern "Alpina Green"; now that is something, but only available on Alps

That looks fantastic, amazing condition it's in. The engine bay and arches all look as new, maybe even better than that.

Did you buy it in that shape, or have you done work on it yourself?

It was a ground up restoration started in 2012 finished in 2015 then stood till I purchased it in 2017 being honest the hard work was done but I got it back to tip top since owning it. Whenever I take it out people are so positive men even boys love to look and ask about it, in fact at a show one day I was parked two cars away from a 80s Ferrari people were all over the TR the guy was a tribal pissed off. It really is my baby I absolutely fell in love with the TR6 as a 17 year old in 1974 and it had to be Yellow. I dread the day I will have to sell it due to old age I am 68 now but still fit so hoping it’s a long way off. This is a pic of how far the restoration went.












Glad you are loving the Cayman it’s a modern car I adore due to the fact of a striking affinity to the Triumph GT6. Well I think so. Keep smelling the petrol
