If that's a 911's cousin, I'm a monkey's uncle.

By any chance, how can I obtain the paint color code on that VW? Particularly, the "orange" paint code from 1973 Bug with 1200cc engine (not 1300cc). Thanks in advance.
Think that RMS worked??

I learned to drive in a '78 Beetle
And when I had my '90 964C4, yes, I could feel some simmilarities, but off course, the driving experience was totally different !
