Default Any 968 Turbo S built in Riviera Blue?
A fellow in a Spanish forum just posted a (bad) pic of a Riviera Blue 968 TS taken in the UK and I was wondering if any of these were built in this color?

Wheels are plain jane M030 Cup 1s, for some reason...

Not a great photo, but I'm thinking this is Maritime Blue.

OK, so I'll rephrase the question. Any 968TSs built in Maritime Blue?

It looks to have the correct rear wing. However, I recall that the trim around the hatch window in the company 968 turbo was painted the color of the car body. The photo shows black trim, not blue. So the 968 in the jpg does not appear to be a company turbo. It may or may not be a good "outlaw" turbo.

+1. Thats the 1st thing I noticed as well.
Also, it looks to have a sunroof.

it seems to be a clubsport, if you look at the rear tailgate carefully you will see 968 cs not may off these turbo s or rs around so very unlikely. pazzer in the UK.

That car Is Maritime blue. + Is a Club Sport with a Turbo rear wing..
So a bit of a pretender...
There are quite a few 968,s in the UK with Turbo look bits fitted....

I only know of ONE original Turbo 968 in the UK[ "bubble car" ]....Unless some others are in hiding...
