Default Maritime blue anyone?

First disclaimers, no knowledge about the car, no affiliation with the owner, sorry if you are tracking this auction. Anyway I love this color and wish I had the spare coin to go get it. BIN price seems reasonable enough to me.

Maritime Blue

Hot, price seems decent to me as well if it checks out and has a clean vin. Definately needs a 930S wheel and to lose the blue air vents - eek! Not crazy about the interior color with the blue but it appears clean.

That car was on ebay a month or two ago from the same seller, I am thinking there is some sort of scam going on, altho I could be wrong. Am sort of tempted myself, but am planning on holding out for Horizon Blue instead.

Looks way to dark to be Maritime. Nice car, but Sam is right, needs to ditch the vents and wheel.

That color looks awesome on that 968. Don't think it'd look cool on a 944/951 though... And yeah, it needs to get rid of the blue on the interior. Maybe if it was a black interior, but it doesn't work with the tan.

Maritime looks hot on a 944. I have always wanted to paint mine that color if I ever had the spare coin to do a color change when I get it painted.

Oh, ok, that does look pretty good. Not really my thing though - a little to light of a blue for me.

There is a thread about this color on the 993 board. I love it, on any Porsche!

I like it.......if I ever repainted the 951 I would use that color..........I was recently looking for a 993 in a similar color but I heard it was called Riviera Blue.
