    Poll of Early S Reg people car colors

    Just wanted to see a general percentage of colors in the community. also curious how it would be different compared to actual factory production of colors (survival/popularity).

    and if you have multiple longhoods, you should be able to vote multiple times.

    thanks
    Reza

    Mine is Grand Prix Weiß, and I do not know what it was originally. I think Silver. The previous owner made it an IROC RS look with IROC green paint.

    Reza,

    It's pretty obvious why they did a color change to midnight blue......

    it's because someone earlier had changed it from Albert blue to







    sepia brown, now the question is, who loved sepia brown so much that they forked over the cash to change it from albert blue?
