The first time EVER I have seen a chartreuse 964. The pistonheads link -currently live- is here:

But I have saved the pictures in photobucket for safekeeping! Imagine that next to a 73 RS, on cup1 build to RS spec. Woa

Does anyone know the first year chartreuse was available from the factory?

I think you're right, I remember seeing the car on Ebay and it stated that it had been resprayed in VW Lemon Yellow - looks good though.red964 wrote:964 looks like lemon yellow to me

Aha, okay now it becomes clear. I couldnt find "lemon yellow" as a colour code in the 964 range so I assumed therefore it must have been a colour to sample.Bootsy wrote:I think you're right, I remember seeing the car on Ebay and it stated that it had been resprayed in VW Lemon Yellow - looks good though.red964 wrote:964 looks like lemon yellow to me

I also assumed that therefore the dealer might not know about the magical chartreuse and called the colour "lemon yellow".
Teaches me right: never assume but check check check. That statement is also valid when delivering heat exchangers so I have been told
Best regards

Not sure about it being a VW colour on a respray
I did once work on a factory lemon yellow coloured 964RS lightweight.
a very nice car owned by a photographer chap called Dave who worked in that london taking pictures of Kylie and other celebs. (not a pap)
nice guy, nice car!
