Bought a 1999 3.4M 996 manual with 113,000 miles last month and dropped it off at the excellent D & G Motor Engineers in Newcastle for check over, service and MOT.

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

Bought a 1999 3.4M 996 manual with 113,000 miles last month and dropped it off at the excellent D & G Motor Engineers in Newcastle for check over, service and MOT. Really pleased with it and it drives and feels beautiful but does anyone know what colour this is. I thought it was Zenith Blue but D & G thought it might be a special order colour, would just like to know, it has dark grey interior.
Thanks
I can second that about D&G, I've just finished fitting all new arms and bushes to my C2 cab and then took mine in for a geometry set up a couple of weeks ago. It's absolutely spot on now and they've somehow managed to dial in more front end bite at my request!
I have bought 3 x 911,s all out of auction and all needing service and MOT, the first was 6 years ago and D&G had just set up but sorted the car really well.
It was good to go back last month with this 996 and see how well they have done.
They deserve much praise.
Welcome, I have the same colour, it is a bit wierd in that it varies depending on the light from light blue to purple which might be why you thought it was aspecial colour?
I love the colour but then I'm biased
I was not too keen when I bought it but when I went to pick it up from the garage it had been professionally detailed and I really love it.
Having said that I love everything about 911,s. My first was a 2007 Cab in Atlas grey with Savannah beige leather and I learnt to love that as well.
This is my first 996 after a few 997 Gen 1 and 2 and I am very impressed.
Thank you very much and enjoy.
I'm also a Zenith owner, as said it's a little bit of marmite. Best description is blurple.
As you say it seems a properly polished car makes a big difference, probably why mine looks rubbish :lol: .
Blurple is a good description , but I do like it, not sure I would choose it for a new one but love it with the dark grey interior !
Just over the moon with car, 3 or 4 years since my last 911.
"Blurple" Love it
It is quite a delicate colour, so I think it suits the slim hipped C2 but might not be macho enough for a C4 or turbo.
A least having this colour means that all my friends can refer to the car as the "Purple Pig"
It's growing on me but I would say that !
My last 997 was Guards red which I think takes some beating.
Regardless of colour I do love the car and am very happy with it.
