Default Ocean Blue, Red Interior C2S

Interesting listing. Ocean Blue exterior...Boxster Red (?) interior? Seems like it should be Can Can Red, no?

21k miles
50k

Looks Boxster Red to me. Interesting combo, I like it. Probably not for most though.

Not the correct color combo for me. Blue's great though.

I am a black on red fanatic, but blue on red, not so much. Boxster Red has too much orange for me as well. Chestnut, Can-Can, are Flamenco are cool.

A classic and traditional Porsche combination since the beginning in various shades of blue and red ..... For some reason, to me, this color combo on a convertible is really striking ....

Saw this one pop up too. I'll guess it was spec'd by someone who knew how some Porsches were built over the years, like the 356 mentioned above. I vaguely remember a '67-8 of a customer that was blue/red. Might have been a repaint though.

Hard to say if it's Chestnut or Boxster Red. One guy around here has/had a black turbo with Boxster Red, and that looked good. But yeah it's got a lot of yellow tint in it that doesn't seem to show in that photo.

No pics of my Chestnut on this computer, but it looks different that Augustus!

Chestnut doesn't photograph well with a flash. It is a browny red and Boxster Red has more orange. When did Boxster Red actually become available? The Boxster only came out in '97. Here is my Chestnut interior:

Boxster red was available in '97 on the first cars. It was supposed to look like the show car design study and was ordered on Arctic Silver cars mostly. The showcar's leather was a combo of brushed and polished pigskin ...

I don't think can can was an option. But Flamenco Red was.
