Default Viola (purple) Metallic Boxster

So, I thought I would throw this out there and see if this car exists. I am looking for (casually, no rush AT ALL!) a Viola Metallic Boxster with a Tiptronic trans for my wife. She LOVES purple and that is one of the few (if not the only) factory available colors that would be even close to what she likes. I guess thankfully it came on a Boxster, which we BOTH like.

So if I could find one for her it would be a nice surprise and probably not to expensive as this was only a factory color in the early Boxster years.

Thanks for any help!

I have never seen one but there is always the option of building a new one for your wife and giving Porsche a paint sample. Just a thought, might be pricey though. Cheers

Paint to sample when it is all said and done is about $10,000...maybe more (it was $14,000 on a 928 GTS I saw once...they still had the window sticker).

I actually saw one for sale a year or so ago but it was a 5spd... I need a tip because I am in a wheelchair. Wife would love the stick, but I am not going to let her have all the fun!

Thanks guys, I'll bump this thread from time to time and keep your eyes peeled for me...you just never know.

Years ago we had a local owner called Viola Vamp. 2000 S, but it was a 6 speed.

Her hair, fingernails, purse and just about everything elese was purple.

This picture is from 7 years ago. I put my silver humps on her Voila since the Viola color is so drab.

^^^^^

My wife would LOVE to have that car! To bad she is not a fan of Purple! LOL! That is CRAZY!

Keep your eyes peeled for me guys! It is an unusual color but one that is NOT easy to sell when it goes on the market!
