PaulQ Posted May 30, 2016 Report Share Posted May 30, 2016 Never seen it before Is it gold ? Looks a tad green in the picture. Red roof is very nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
topradio Posted May 30, 2016 Author Report Share Posted May 30, 2016 Lime Gold. Not a popular colour in this country and now discontinued. I was going to order it with a black roof then one day I was looking on the configurator and put the red one on and that was it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulQ Posted May 30, 2016 Report Share Posted May 30, 2016 I like it. Makes a change to see a colour a little different from the norm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
topradio Posted May 30, 2016 Author Report Share Posted May 30, 2016 Thanks Paul. Its a bit of a Marmite colour but we love it and it does turn heads, hopefully in a good way. BTW I also have a 98 986 in Pastel Yellow - another Marmite colour - that I have owned from new. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulQ Posted May 30, 2016 Report Share Posted May 30, 2016 I knew you had owned your 986 from new........didn't realise it was yellow though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
topradio Posted May 30, 2016 Author Report Share Posted May 30, 2016 This was it about 5 years ago when I lent it to a friend for his wedding. I probably should put this in the 986 sub forum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gorsh Posted May 30, 2016 Report Share Posted May 30, 2016 An unusual but good looking colour combination Topradio. You could get the first thread in the 986 sub forum too if you're quick! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jason986S Posted May 30, 2016 Report Share Posted May 30, 2016 The 986 looks like a faded speed yellow to me, BUT your 981 is absolutely gorgeous! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jon61 Posted May 30, 2016 Report Share Posted May 30, 2016 It's not any ordinary yellow, it's pastel yellow! Good registration, too! Good to see a proper photo of the lime gold & red combination, I think it works quite well although I wouldn't have expected it to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However I do realise that there are colours that people specified from new where you think 'what were they thinking of' like this Although even that doesn't look too much in that picture. I used to have a MK2 MR2 in Aqua which was similar and I thought that looked great as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jason986S Posted May 31, 2016 Report Share Posted May 31, 2016 The green could look ok with facelift lights and a black interior, maybe... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
