Default Any more 993:s in Crystal Silver out there?

Hi all!
Do I have the only 993 painted in Crystal Silver/Kristallsilber?
Must be more cars because it is such a beautiful colour! It's a 1994 and the only standard silver for a 993 back then was the Polar Silver which to my opinion is more blue than silver!, Seems like the first owner of my car felt the same! For me it is Arctic over Polar all the time!

There must be more 993s in Crystal Silver?

Sorry for the picture but the car is hibernating at the moment! My joy and beauty!

Default Crystal Silver Metallic ... MY94 993 Coupe ...

+1 .. A Silver metallic exterior is a classic.
IIRC Crystal silver metallic as a production color was introduced in early MY89 or '90 944S2 series. ... Was Crystal silver metallic the 964 production silver, or possibly a 964 tier 2 paint option choice? I recon a Paint-to-Sample option could be at work?? The 993 production didn't offer Crystal silver as a production color option, well.. in the Tier 1, option scheme of the day

Anyway ... agreed. Crystal silver metallic like Arctic silver metallic with its brown and or grey hues are traditional impressions of "Silver metallic" ... Polar silver metallic not so much.

Your MY94 993 coupe in Crystal silver metallic is a B-E-A-U-T-Y .. (no sunroof? kwel)

True! I forgot to say that the Crystal Silver is a 944 colour, I have so far found just one 964 on the internet in this colour!, Silver 964s aren't that common (compare with 996 and 97s!), can anyone please assist and give the name of 964 silvers?

Excluding the grays...

Silver Metallic - 980
Zermatt Silver Metallic - 55
Polar Silver Metallic - 92E

Crystal Silver was never offered as a 964 color; therefore yours would be considered PTS/Special Order

More pics would be great. Silver would seem to be such a simple classic, but the range of silvers is fantastic

Somehow, get two others, (one a PS, one an AS) and get a pic, in good light of all three together! Put the lightest in the middle. :-)
