Yeah I know...all about Ferrari...nothing but Ferrari. We did a drum set for him in Ferrari Red and we hand did the yellow Ferrari shield on each drum. They Nick has a plastic molded case company do red molded cases with the Ferrari shield on each case....totally sick.

ICE Blue - '76 color code 360
This was the display car for the '76 New York Auto Show.
To my knowledge, this is the only Ice Blue example of the 530 US models built for '76.
Leather is "Electric Blue" ........... very seventies !
People usually mistake this color for Gulf Blue but it is a few shades lighter.

Very pleased with the colour; as you correctly say it is Mexico (ever so slightly darker in tone than Riviera). In pictures, the colour is very exposure dependent.
Here are a couple more pics, including one on the Ring itself (in rather wet weather!).
Cheers

Congrats Stefan! You did the exact right thing in breaking in your RS, which is the best looking .2 I've seen so far -- pick her up at the factory & straight to the 'Ring...in the wet no less. How did it feel?
Well spotted. That's my car pulling out of the ED petrol station at the Nurburgring. I'd picked the car up from Stuttgart the previous day (hence the transport plates).

Updating this thread with latest info:
Porsche denied my friend's request for PTS Gulf Blue, in addition to another shade of light non-metallic blue, both because of "paint quality issues."
Sounds like a lame excuse to me. If they can paint a light gray like the color on the Sport Classic, why cannot they add a little blue, while keeping the paint of sufficiently high quality? He will very happy with the final chosen color...but I am just wondering if Porsche's explanation has any validity?
