Continental Orange would definitely be my favorite... too bad there are no pics of an original car in that color.

I've always liked Petrol Blue Metallic. Wish they had offered it in later years.

I just have to say every time I see pics of your car I think it is one of the most beautiful 928's I have ever seen. And that in spite of the fact that the color is not my favorite! I guess it's sort of like saying, "I don't like squid, but that calamari was delicious!" Well, something like that- I hope you get the general idea...

Nice Jim,

There's something cheerful about the early Porsche colors. Must be nostalgia.

And I agree with Martin on Jarrod's car.

Just the camel/pasha itself I've seen with different carpet colors and I think maybe different colors of the Pasha inserts (can't remember but it seems like I've seen brown and white inserts)?
I plan to do a Pasha collection. Less color options should make it easier, however finding all the combinations will be tricky.

Option code for leather is M981 but I'm not sure when it became available.
I do know that most were not leather in 78-79. The early show cars were fitted with leather.

Thank you. Purity is a great word for it.

Aso, thanks Leonard Z. for reference pics from your collection!
