In all this talk about car colors I stumbled upon this car for sale in the Netherlands

https://dyler.com/cars/14163/porsche-914-co...purple-for-sale


Prior to me re-spraying one of mine this color, I was only able to find evidence of one 914 ever having been delivered in this color, and even that one was a factory re-spray before delivery if i recall. Quite a few aubergine, but no lilacs.

It looks like this one may possibly be a factory lilac car. There are a couple things i question on it (painted targa bar and bumpers on a 73 2.0) but im not sure if this just might have been a difference with european delivery cars?? If this was a post delivery re-spray though it looks to be very thorough.

Thoughts? Are we looking at possibly the rarest 73 2.0 car out there? Is anyone aware of any other factory lilac cars?
