First, 6861 is a code that designates a custom paint choice, such as paint to sample provided. It is an umbrella code that covers many custom colors.
I have never heard of Mazaratt as a color, and Google is no help. I would like some more details such as the VIN, a photo of the paint code badge, and any documentation that mentions Mazaratt.
Is there any evidence of the color on the car, such as under the paint badge, or any clue as to the original shade?
6861 is a general code for special order paint. Typically on the Kardex there is a word describing the color, which I assume on your friend's car it's Mazaratt.
It wouldn't surprise me if it's a color match to a Maserati paint color, but hard to say.
Do you have any more info on the car? Any of the original color left on the car?
Seeing the Kardex would be helpful

Bryce is right --- you need to get the Kardex
Better yet? . . . find a paint chip to show!
.........
The only paper he got is this :
Attachment 419881
Reference . . .
VIN = 119310509
Eng# = 6391793
Trans# = 7197256
Other interesting stuff = . . .
.M239 = leather seats
.M354 = fixed (solid?) rear window, heated and tinted
.M433 = power antenna (right side fender install?)
.M464 = Becker Europa
Be curious if the car still has the power antenna. Also the radio --- even just the face-plate. Any pics?
And thanks for sharing --- cool stuff!
...................
M337 is fog lights.
Interesting that they used M codes for options on this printout and not the normal 4 digit typical through MY69 cars.
Still unclear what Mazaratt means.
BTW, that is a late production S Targa, one of the last. Not sure what you mean by "BY 68".
Below is a Kardex for a car that has some of the same options as your friend's car. You can see where the word Mazaratt would fit, up next to 6861

'AGAVENGR' = agave green?

Re above
9369 Sond. Lak > SonderLack > Sonderlackierung > Special paint.
And yes, Agavengr > Agavengrün.

Btw the dealer paper in post 5 using 3-digit numbers has faults as those codes were not in use in 1969, as member beh911 correctly stated.
Imo whoever wrote that paper had no access to 1969 codes and used later ones, instead.
Here are the correct codes and descriptions for a 1969 Targa S.
9355 Elektrisch beheizte, feste Heckscheibe
9329 Sitze in Leder (rechts und links)
9337 / 9338 Halogen-Nebelscheinwerfer unter Stosstange (weiss 9337) (gelb 9338)
9433 Elektrische Antenne (nur rechts)
9462 Becker Europa

By chance I also have the (ultra rare) pricelist from Belgian Dealer "D'Ieteren Freres S.A.", where the car was sold.
It shows the 911S Targa as their highest priced model, at 395.000 Belgian Francs.

Mazaratt is possible as a Sonderlack, no question. I had a 356 that was painted Saffran yellow, one of one. But unless you find some spec of it on the body it's next to impossible to find the color code as it isnt noted anywhere.
This is a 911 my dad ordered new. One of one. You asked (and paid) and Porsche would (and still will) paint it any color you want.
My friend's new targa. Another 'Sonderfarbe' that is not on the order list.
OK-OK --- before we take poor Mr Winter's thread completely off-track . . .Quote:

Re: Mazzarat (this thread's car).
Let's see some pics of remaining paint samples on the car in question, plus you need the kardex given the mixed up nature of the printout.
My apologies, Mr Winters . . .Quote:

Still waiting to hear back from Jules . . .

Yay!!! ... ...Quote:

Special paint according the catalogue (except silver) DM 450.-
Special paint according any chosen sample DM 735.-
to compare:
Becker Europa Radio DM 450.-, Becker Grand Prix DM 700.-, fixed rear glass for Targa DM 110.-, Recaro Sport single seat DM 90.- (keep in mind its an upgrade - in exchange of Standard seats), Front seats in leather DM 360.-, Webasto heater DM 590.-, Electric Sunroof DM 900.-
Electric Sunroof is the most expensive accesories, special paint according any sample and a few radios are second.

I'll find out. His wait was over a year but i don't believe that was because of the color. Simple supply and demand issue.
And thank you for looking it up and posting the deets Karim! Very cool!
