Interesting... Not a bad color to be honest. I had a '78 Oldsmobile that was similar but a bit darker back in high school. This comes out a LOT better.

I think my brother's 86 Turbo is crystal green.

I have seen a few of these in the last 16 years, so no it's not a one-off but it is still very rare. This colour does seem to fade, so look for a good one if that's what you want.

Reminds me of the sexiest E46 M3 convertible I saw. Mint green with gun metal wheels and a black top.

It's a fantastic looking color. Car just needs different wheels.

This is close to my favorite color on a TVR, but I never before saw it on a 944. Seems like there are a few still out there though.

Seen that colour on plenty of 944s for sale on ebay and other sites on this side of the world. The very first 944 I ever saw in the flesh was in that colour, actually. Still doesn't make me like it though. Puke/Mint green
