Thanks Andy,
I guess it doesn't look half as bad as it sounds...
This is such an excuse for more pics (yes, I'm an addict)...
Raspberry?!!! Raspberry!!!

One of the special order cars was the Jade Green car Mark Waring used to own (only one car in that colour)

The list of RS Chassis Numbers that I have doesn't show any sliver cars.
There are about 35/40 cars on the list that are defined as either 'special colour' or a code number that I can't decipher so unless one of these is silver it looks unlikley.

No cars were supplied in silver but #1289 & #1367 are currently painted in that colour (originally Tangerine & Light Yellow respectively).

In the 1970's the primer technology for fibreglass wouldn't (aparently) support the then celly mica metalics - so the RS with fibreglass tail came without metallics as an option.
The famous Piech (sp?) with the jazzy orange interior, was painted metalic (from memory) but did not have a ducktail fitted

that's odd. When I saw the car at BS Motorsports it didn't have a duck, just a plain lid. I think it was on colour coded green 6 and 7 inch wheels too.
It did have tomestone seats, black anodised window trim, colour coded headlamp trims and overriders and earlier 'thin' rocker trims just as your picture depicts.

Mike - the ex-Ferry Porsche RS originally came sans ducktail & was equipped with cookie Cutters.
When Brian Burrows bought the car from Russell Edmonds, it had been repainted (still in its original colour) & the original hand-painted dark green Carrera sidescripts/engine lid scripts had been replaced with black decals. The car also had colour-coded 6" & 7" Fuchs.
I can't remember the name of the guy that bought it from BB but he replaced the decals with some hand-painted graphics & added the ducktail/7"&8" Fuchs.

I must have seen it in the BB ownership era then. It was Sept 03 when I saw it.
