available years of Royal Purple (lilac)?

[tcsracing1]

Anybody know how rare Royal Purple Lilac/69 is?

What model years was it available?

Found a car that was originally Royal Purple now painted white.

Also Has interesting COA items, anybody know what these items are:

comfort equipment?
trim strips on rims?
raised steering wheel hub?
additional heating?
stabilizers F/R?
Koni shocks instead of boge?

Incase a pic helps visualise the colour. Here is a 73 RS we restored.

Fairly rare. Would like to have a copy of your COA.
No mention of lilac in the % color list in 1970. Supposedly available in 1971; none in my database.
Just 2 in my database for 1972
Fully 19 in my database for 1973, but 16 are RS models for which my database should be complete.
Comfort group = leather steering wheel, 911s instruments (adds oil guage) could be other things depending on year & model,
wheel trim = could be chrome wheel arch trim
raised steering wheel hub = spacer to bring steering wheel closer to driver
additional heating = possibly Webasto gas heater
stabilizers F/R = sway bars on suspension
Koni shocks instead of boge = upgrade suspension struts to Koni, probably means S front calipers as well.

Hard to find, in my experience. I've been looking for a couple years.

its a lovely colour, changes depending upon the light - here is an example of a UK RHD 73S

[911T1971]

Yes, first available in 1972 as a Special Color.
Called "Royal purple", "Flieder", "Lilas" or "Viola ametista"
Code 6910 Targa and 6969 Coupe.

For 1973 same names and codes, still a Special Color.

I have all Special Colors samplers, the 1970/1971 Special Color sampler does not list it, btw.
I assume by 1972 everybody was in full LSD mode :-)

Aren’t these two different colors? Royal Purple Lilac and Aubergene

Yes... very different

Called "Royal purple", "Flieder", "Lilas" or "Viola ametista" Code 6910 Targa and 6969 Coupe.

True, you may find the 69 color code on a COA, but the badge will say 341 in 1972 and later; full code 341-9-1 is most likely.
