Default Well sorted and Iris Blue...

Looks to be a very nice example at a pretty decent price,,,,

No affiliation, but I can check it out for someone if interested (I'm dying to see Iris Blue in person, and would love to compare the suspension to my own car...)

Wow. That car is awesome. Another one for the "wish I were still looking" file.

I like it, it's kind of Purple/blue. The best combo I've seen is an Iris Blue Cabriolet with a blue top, Cashmere leather seats/door panels with dark blue dash, door tops and carpets.

I also saw this car on CL. I think it is priced well if it is as nice as it looks in the pics. I still like the silver better. My 2 cents

at the recent Monterey Historics and the P car fest that ensued, i saw at least 3000 P cars, but only 2 Iris Blue cars.

One was in line for the parade lap, and mine was in the parking lot.

Iris Blue is NOT a common color, the advert is correct, though I'm told that the IB with a grey interior was popular in Dallas TX..................

I"m very happy i found an Iris Blue car

cheers

Who told you this about Dallas TX? Oddly enough, my car (Iris blue with marble grey interior) was originally sold in Houston.
