How about a WB version of Butzi's original Aventurine / chocolate speedster?

I'd like to change my vote... the more I think about grey or a flatish white with a chocolate brown interior, the more I like it. I think this more classic combo would make a great addition to the speedster fleet.

Glad to see that there is no general concensus. Some very interesting options there boys.

This is what I had in mind over the dark brown interior and for a white car me an Marc both quite liked Merc's approach with their roadster.

Either way, let's have more pictures! It's going to be far easier to visualise colour options from photos.

Hey boys, check this out:

Maybe we should do one of these on our new website for the 9m93 Speedster S & all the 9mRS variants?

That's awesome! What a great marketing tool ..
OK. How about non-metallic Slate Grey over Natural Red or Flamenco Red ..

& titanium painted cup alloys, RS +10 ride height, (body)coulour coded seat belts, 9m billet heads, 9m sports tourer cams....

....aka a car that screams factory with a very subtle twist.

Whilst I admit we love the Blue/Titanium theme on Graham's #1 9m93 Speedster S we simply can't do another one as it would definitely steal his thunder, so where is the fun in that?

That said, we've already got the hardback seats for colour coding and no doubt it will end up on a custom set of KW's, however IF the car stays around with us beyond completion we may be in a position to slot in one of our new special project engines for evaluation and testing. Let's see, eh?

Thanks for the suggestions, keep them coming.

I always wanted a Vesuvius speedster with contrasting gunmetal grey bits, including the Speedline centers.

Well, it's the classic Carrera S combination so it would definitely work on the Speedster S wide body and probably look really cool. OK, so it's more than likely that we go for something outside of the conventional box, but it is good to think of all combinations as they provide inspiration for the more unusual ideas.
