Default MEXICO BLUE

Does anyone know how many 997.2 GT3 RS's were made in PTS Mexico Blue?

Not many! Hopefully someone will let you know. I'm Aqua Blue and there were only 7 in the US in 2010 I'm told.

Thanks. I just found a 2011 Mexico Blue one and I have seen photos of one with European plates. Trying to find out if there are any other ones. It looks VERY close to Riviera Blue (it was parked next to one in a garage).

That had to be paint to sample. There are plenty of people on this site that have access to build quantities. They will chime in at some point...

Pretty sure aqua blue was a standard color and I'm pretty sure there's more than 7.

Let me know if you pass on the mex blue car...it's my favorite color and I'd be interested if you pass.

Yes, Aqua was the lowest volume of the standard colors. Info came from someone who would know. I've only seen or heard abut 2 in Aqua/Red. More in Aqua/Gold. Remember just 2010 and in the US.

I just got the Mexico Blue car - but if I ever sell it (unlikely), I'll pm you.

"Steven, there were two built in Mexico Blue for North America"
Thank you Michael. Do you know who has the other one? Were they both in 2011 (mine is 2011)? I know there is also a RHD one in the UK.

No photos yet - I am picking it up on July 4 and driving from Oregon to Palm Springs (all back roads!). I'll take photos then. And THEN I'll have to figure out how to post them.....

I think I know the car / former owner. Does it have black wheels and no graphics?? If so the seller is one of my best friends. Congrats!!

For the blue fans, I am incorrect. My friend in Oregon has a Riviera Blue 3.8 RS with no graphics and black wheels. Soooo close but not a match. Congrats again on the awesome car!! Best JBO
