Darn! Yes, I've owned two 997 C2S's in Carmon Red and I love the color. I passed on a Carmon red turbo coupe due to the tip. Not that I hate the tip, but this is a car that I prefer the manual.

Happy to pay a premium for the right car.

Really love Carmon Red. Something about it just really works for me on the 997 TT.

Cheers all/

I spoke with CTDan, the rennlister and previous owner of the car. It's absolutely perfect, except for the color being ruby vs Carmon. It's close, but not what I'm after. Gorgeous car though. Just a little to light in the burgundy spectrum for me. The exhaust and fidelity platinum warranty make the car a good value, I believe. I'm sure it'll find a nice home.

Never heard of that color...Given, I am new to P cars...just bought my 997.1 TT in August, but have never heard of or seen that color.

Pretty for sure, but not my cup of tea...I get no visceral reaction, put another way, it doesn't blow my skirt up...but as the ole' saying goes, Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

I'm starting to think someone keyed a crude drawing into your front bumper the way your photos always strategically crop it out.

It was definitely an option, but the color chart in the catalog didn't do it justice....

Car color is amazing.

Good luck with the hunt.

How about a wrap? Cheaper than paint, and won't hurt resale. Good wraps these days look great.

Barring that, AutoTempest (my site) might help with your search. None available right now, but it will let you search a bunch of top sites at once, plus all of craigslist, to save a little time. Here's a search of the US for a 997tt, manual, coupe, with keywords carmon red: https://www.autotempest.com/results?...man&saleby=any

Thanks Nate. Big fan of your site and I used it to locate my Dark Olive Turbo.

Not sure on the wrap, it just seems like it might too matte? I haven't spent any time up close to a well wrapped car, perhaps I'll give it a look. I'm in metro Detroit, if anyone has a recommendation on a good wrap place.

Thx
