We have recently bought a matching numbers 914/6 and it needs some restoration work including a bare metal re-spray. It is (original) Alaska [edit: should have said Adriatic blue] Blue and we are not keen on that colour. Our favourite colour is Signal Orange.
We will be keeping the car once restored and driving it and showing it, for the foreseeable. We would be interested to hear views on the effect on value in changing the colour. Thanks Kate/Brian |

Please enjoy this decision -- this is the kind of problem that many of us wish we had!
My two cents: 914-6 values are rising quickly and the most valuable ones match their factory build sheets. I'd either (1) restore in its original color, (2) trade it for a restorable 6 in signal orange, or (3) store the blue 6 while using the money you'd otherwise spend on restoration to buy a perfect, signal orange conversion. Really, for the cost of restoration, I bet a few on this list could build you exactly what you want and have it done in the same period of time. |
