That color looks good on a coupe. Can't say for certain that it is Blue Turquoise because BT changes so much (as do many colors) with the lighting.
The only certain way to tell is to call and ask them to check on the paint number that is probably found on the fuel filler lid. Blue Turquoise is 3AS. It certainly looks like it, though! It's the first coupe I've seen in that color. I know of two other cabriolets (one in NY and one in NJ). Mine is tossed in for comparison--lighting is the key.

Yes, the Spyder is stunning, except for the Alcantara on the seats.
Ever sonce Porsche came out with Carrera Red interior, I have always wondered how it would look with a dark blue exterior. Now I know....... it looks great!

Dang, you have a nice car! I would suspect that you would experience IMMENSE stress IF you ever went to look at a new one and had to trade this one in! Ha! Just remember: "It's OK to look at the menu as long as you eat at home..."

The car is nicely optioned, with what looks like deviated stiching, silver belts and a few other items, apart from the PTS.
This car will appeal to someone who wants something different. My car too came from Euroclassics, and also had a few of the Euroclassics signature items, painted headlight washers and model designation.
I paid a premium of around $4k (IMO) to get into my PTS car. And I figured it was worth it.
Ask yourself this, would you rather have a 997.2 S, in pedestrian Silver, or the '08 PTS car?

Dan,
Yes, I called them also and was told it was Murano Green. Too bad really, because the rest of the car is well appointed. If the pics are close to the true color, I think I'll pass, because the color looks "washed out" to me.

Murano is an unusual color. I guess like with many colors, you have to see it to appreciate it. It's a color I remember from my Crayola box--but was called something like bluegreen.

Look here at Dan's car before for a comparison
