To DJF1 regarding your question is the car for sale if you were referring to the car in the link to the 97 C4S it was for sale quite some time ago and it did sell not sure who bought it ... if you were referring to the 95 Riviera Blue coupe that was for sale and sold to a guy in CT...if you referring to the other 97 C4S that is mine and it is not for sale...

Thanks! I was referring to the one on the link. Very nice indeed! Yours is not shabby either Absolutely gorgeous car you have, only the ride height needs adjustment
BTW I think that your color os what Porsche calls "Maritime Blue". Personally I like it better than the Riviera as its less bubble gummy and a bit deeper.

The Bacardi cabrio interior was so bright with all the riviera leather that you need sunglasses to drive it

Only1Buck - your are absolutely correct, the color code doesn't lie and my friend now knows that he is driving a turquoise blue cab. I shouldn't be surprised by the depth of knowledge of a rennlister but my friend is still in disbelief.

Please accept my humble appologies

The rare picture posted by Only1Buck is key...for the first time I was able to understand the difference between both...although I'd settle for any of them, I still prefer the "Bubble Gum" Riviera.

Thanks again for posting...

Pedro, don't use that pic as a judge. That is NOT represenative of Riviera blue. The lighting exposure is way wrong on both cars. The first shot is a good rep of T. Look at my pic for better and truer rep of Riv color.

Hey Alan - she is purrrty. The more I look at these pics the more I see a bit more powder blue color in the Riviera pics and a bit more blue-green in the Blue Turquoise.

Dear Alan...I should blame you for the fact I'm here looking for a car they forgot to import...PCNA left 98% of them in Europe and unfortunately, while browsing these Rennlist pages, I found your car and got immediately cursed by the Riviera spell...

Your car is gorgeous...congratulations...if you find her twin sister...let me know please...

PS. Anybody has the video file for the ad campaign above mentioned ? I'd love to see it...

Take care...

Pedro, there was a very nice looking turquoise blue cab for sale on and off on Craigslist in the SF bay area. You might try posting a "wanted" there. Good luck - a beautiful and distinctive color.
