I see a LGM C4S Cabriolet parked at a local Starbucks all the time. Even winter tires. Handicap parking space. Car looks cool. Not sure I'd want to own it, be I appreciate the car and color.

When I was in Philadelphia, I hated the color... But being in Southern Cal, I think the combination of the constant sunshine and mid-century feel of just about everything out here makes it work really well. This one has the espresso interior too, which looks great with the color.

It's a nice buy- 7,600 miles, untitled, and a pretty neat story of origin.

Interesting the head of Porsche Motorsport chose a PDK car for his own use.

this early '70s kitchen appliance color actually looks fine on the early '70s- look 991 Targa

this exact car would be a perfect match for a SoCal resident's weekend getaway in nearby Palm Springs , where " mid century design " homes are the most in demand

That looks like Circle Porsche in Long Beach.

Arena...do you by chance work at the dealership that is trying to sell this vehicle?

It's not just you! That is why Porsche sold so few of them and it's now discontinued!

And the dealers that ordered this color as spec inventory usually sold it at a major discount! It has been a 'bloodbath' of a color.

You are too kind...

And it's so true. Here is, by coincidence, a photo I posted earlier this year of a 'Lime Gold Metallic' gt3 parked at a handicap 'blue' space. Apparently it's a logical place to park for anyone that bought a Porsche in this color! No experienced cop would ever give the owner a ticket for parking there! The color of his/her vehicle is proof positive that he or she is severely 'vision challenged' and thus 'handicapped'!
