Hello Again

I have now bought a 1970 2.2 911t imported from California, it is now ready for paintwork, the original colour was Burgundy but i wanted to do it Grey like the Steve McQueen Porsche 911 S.

Monday is decision day and i would like some input from you guy's please.

Regards

If the car is original and has matching numbers I would keep the original color. Burgundy Porsches are nice .

Leave it the way it is.

Read your message...you want it gray...so paint it gray.

Vs. Burgundy, I personally would go any other color.

When you say Grey is that what we would think of as Silver, or am I just an idiot?

Love Silver Porsches.

Well i was thinking while i have the opportunity to something like David Beckham just bought?

Ah, now that is definitely Grey. Love it.

My way of thinking was if i chose a 70's colour that came from a famous car perhaps the price (assuming i wanted to sell) wouldnt be affected, if it doesn't get affected too much then i may consider it.

I really am in a pickle now :-(

while you own the car you should enjoy it and love it and make to your taste.
thats part of tne porsche experience.
go for gray and look back.

Depends on what you mean by burgundy. If it is actually aubergine, rare but gorgeous on early 911s, I'd stick with that.

Aubergine!

Burgundy. It's original and beautiful.

Or I suppose you could choose gray/silver/beige like a Toyota-driving soccer mom.

I have made my mind up and I've decided to stick to it's original Burgundy colour, i think that if i went for the Grey even though it is an amazing colour it would give me an excuse to start modding the car and that is something i didn't want to do and since stock/ original cars are hard to come by these days it should be a fairly good car.

I hope you guys forgive me but my mind is made up, thank you for your help it is greatly appreciated.
