Alexio. I love those pictures by the way. The one of yourself and your brother is just perfect. Those little spyders are just so cool. We have quite a few of them running around in NZ from various manufacturers including Beck, a local guy and some japanese made ones...

Eduardo, thank you for that correction, I had made an assumption and what you're saying makes much more sense. While our 356c had been repainted and was much less valuable, but that B in the pic was all original and in immaculate shape.. Value reflected it which is why I got to drive it on maybe 2-3 occasions, high school prom being one of them. :-) you're also clearly right ab it being a cab not a roadster.. Silly of me to not look it up or ask my dad as I'm at parents home visiting.. He would have set me straight :-)

Imagine....(see attached PTS Aetna Blue 991 photos courtesy of Slantnose, its current owner). Of course, nothing compares to a mid-1950's Rometsch cabriolet in a similar hue of 'blau'!

All I have heard is coming from Rennlist member & gt3 future owner 'Conekilr'.

The other day while at the dealer. I must admit the GT silver looks so much better in person and the clear tail light looked like it was designed GT silver. Very cool.

I ordered my car like this...but I was debating having the tails tinted darker and the reflectors painted.

Good choice. You will love it. I couldn't take my eyes off of this TTS now only if it was GT3 Absolutely gorgeous and the clear tail made it look wicked.

I think you just made up my mind - I have the next allocation from my dealer (which was supposed to have been December) and I was thinking GT Silver but was keeping my options open. Currently have an Agate Grey 991 Cab so I didn't want to repeat that color which is great for me. I love the reds, yellows and black (but I don't love maintaining a black car); however, it's a daily driver for me so I want something a little subdued. Had a Basalt Black 2010 GT3 that I drive 65,000 miles, lots of wear and tear on black with those miles. Looks like GT Silver for me.

If you have any other photos of this car, particularly of the wheels, please share them - I am debating standard versus silver, not particularly inclined towards black but could be convinced if I saw it with the silver.

Thanks señor Eduardo. I've already swiped those 991 Aetna Blue 991 shots! Thinking on trading up my 993 TT for a PTS aetna GT3 if I can get a foot in the door...

Nice job putting all the miles on GT3. Enjoy it everyday is how it supposed to be. I wish I could take my car to work everyday. I have a silver Cayenne-S and it always looks clean. Easier maitenance than any other color IMO. GT silver has this deep darker tone than the other silvers. Hard to explain. You have to see this color in person. It surprises me every time. Good luck with your paint selection. Color selection is the toughest one just ask Mike from CA. I only have one other picture but next time at the dealer if the car is still there I will take some shots from the wheel, however GT3 wheels are diff though. Ever since seeing the GT silver I have come close to picking up the phone to see if I can change once again but my lock date was Dec 9th Still possible if I push them. That would set off some long debate with the SA

Fairly confident that's Agate. Courtesy of Pistonheads
