Default Can't afford a new Porsche in my favourite colour, so...

...we're buying something else in the nearest colour I can get. Hopefully soon!

Always had a fascination for Porsche Riviera blue, but never been able to afford a car in that colour.

So I'm about to pull the trigger on an Alpina D3 coupe in Santorin Blue with
black Classic wheels, black kidney grilles and possibly black mirrors. - (not this one, but similar)

The colour can be very different in different lights and it's a bit of a Marmite colour.
Could have Estoril instead for the same price but I prefer this.

It's a Special Order colour and normally I wouldn't pay it, but getting a bit disappointed with the masses of black, grey and silvers around.
Decided to have something different for once

I've always liked the light blue Evo's ... only did it with the 260 versions which is a shame
