    BP green color on the 911R

    Hi,

    I would like to know what green is used on the BP 911R car.
    I don't need it 100% accurate, some something very close.

    Can someone help? I tried the search function, but I wasn't able to find anything.

    A picture is attached of the car.

    Conda Green might be close. Did you try here? http://www.early911sregistry.org/for...Porsche-Greens

    I have had contact with BP on this topic when I needed the color for my project R. BP has changed the color of green over the years. Their PR department came back with RAL 6029, which was the correct period color. If I remember correctly, this is indeed a little darker than 348C. A test is the best way to find out.

    It appears that the original car had red stripes ...

    Hi Raj - I think this photo appeared on the Rgruppe forum some time ago. I have asked myself the same question for some time - if the red stripes are for real (and that could be logical, with Swiss drivers, the red and white represents the CH flag), how come the article in Excellence mentions that they found green stripes when restoring the car?

    Please find attached a photo from the other side to resolve your other mystery

    Regards - Dick

    It looks as if the BP stickers are torn. It probably started with 2 on each side. Interesting about the red stripes...

    Here is the origin of the color photo:

    It also seems it had another BP sticker on its roof:



    It had a Firestone sticker on the hood that must have been torn during the race:
