Default Spotted: another Mint Green

I know there was a PTS Mint Green GT3 RS at the recent Festival of Speed, but I figured you would appreciate another car in the same color.

Spotted this Mint Green GT3 (I'm assuming it's not a wrap) at Fox Hills in Culver City, CA today. Dealer plates, and hadn't seen it on RL before. Anyone here?

there has also been 997.2 GT3's in mint green as well. It's not the first time the color has been used, but it's definitely unique.

The first time I seen this color did not like it myself.....but the more I see pictures of it I guess it is growing on me. Have not seen it in person yet which might change my opinion. Not my favorite PTS color but any odd color is cool. Would take it over Red any day.

Typically the kind of color that you have to see by yourself.
I like it on a 964 RS.

As someone once told me, "You've had a lot of good ideas, but this color isn't one of them."

Somebody will love it, just not me.

That looks more like the Celeste Green that Bianchi used and Schwinn (Before they sold the brand) copied back in the 80s!

Only aware of one mint green 997 GT3 in the UK as shown. Are there more mint 997.2's Stateside or is this possibly unique?
Great to see newer models in the same colour. Saw a GT4 too in the same hue which looked great

1959 Fleetwood

Aqua-fresh! How many 60's Caddies and Chevy's wore this color? Nash Ramblers, too.
