Thanks for the positive feedback,it's much appreciated.
The car has had little use in this country since its import in 1999 but it has been serviced and motd every year since then and crucially hasn't been hacked about in the states.
Here are some more pictures.

It's Delphi green L99A.It is a difficult colour to capture accurately with just an i phone but it's a really nice colour in the daylight. :thumbright:

Saturn is the English or USA name , where as Delphi is the German name. Best colour in my very biased opinion :)

Welcome to the world of 914 ownership Adrian.
That is a nice looking 914 you have.

The original paint code sticker stuck to the drivers door post will say Saturn Gelb or two coat Saturn yellow.
In the U.S. the colour was know as Delphi Green Metallic.
