I looked at purchasing a Maritime Blue 1992 Targa in Chicago in the fall of 2000. It was a stunning car and the car's records showed it was a standard color. My books also show it was a standard color from 1991 and on.

To me the posted pics of the 993 looks like riviera blue, which is more of a babyblue color than maritime blue which is more towards purple.

Andy,

A coupke of years back I saw a standard C2 in the South of Spain in Maritime Blue. I think it had a beige interior.

Looked very nice!

Hi Guys

I am not sure that the blue 964 posted above is an RS......it has the headlight washer jets that I believe are not on the Euro RS's

C2RS,

Well spotted! Looking at pictures of the RS, none have the headlight washers! Perhaps it was an option??

Thanks guys for your input on this! It looks as though I'd bettet get saving up for an RS!!

This is "Maritime Blue" which is the color code name used in Germany and it was standard on the CS/RS variants.

Maybe the RS in the first picture had a new bumper fitted at some point and they could only find one with headlight washers?

Anyways, here is a link to a standard 964 cab in Maritime blue, showing that it was indeed available for the standard cars.

And here are two links to Turbo 964s, also available in that colour:

I have the 'colours and interior trim' brochure from 1991 right here. It states 'F2/maritime blue' was available on all 911 variants,all 944's and all 928's. Talking of funky colours(under non-metallics) it lists 'M1/signal green' for all 911 & 928's. Has anyone ever seen this?

Seller's offering it for less than $30K, according to the <a href="http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=1876818490&category=10156" target="_blank">text.</a>

It's quite a bit lighter than Maritime Blue. This is the colour I'll probably end up painting my 951.

Well, it's not blue, but does anyone know the official name of this green?

I'm giving serious thought to this colour as well

Signal Green

That blue nr "15" is a genuine RS.
It was sold in Sweden and my guess is that it was fitted with headlight washers as part of the Scandinavian package we usually get on cars sold new here.
My RS does not have the headlight washers but it was originally sold in Germany.

Patrik S

Is that Signal Green a real RS? It has sunroof ....! I do not think any Euro RS had them, or?

Joey:

Thanks for the link to that car. It sure looks like the same car that I looked at in September of 2000. Luxury Motors had the car for sale at that time and were pretty firm on it's $36,000 or $38,000 price. I think it had 38,000 miles on it at that point. It's amazing how much prices have dropped off since then. I had to pass at that time 'cause I really wanted a coupe and the price was more than I thought it should have been.

But, the color is fantastic. Pictures don't do colors such as Maritime Blue justice. You gotta see these cars in person. This Targa was stunning on the showroom floor in that bright blue.
