Sepia Brown is a rare colour for a 914 as it wasn't a standard colour. It would have been a special order colour with a colour code of L98.

Just noticed you're from the UK. Have you found a Sepia car in the UK?

Thanks, although there's not a lot of paint left on it right now (IMG:style_emoticons/default/av-943.gif)

If you really have your heart set on a particular colour then hold out. I was hours away from buying an Olympic Blue car before I got mine but had to pull out at the eleventh hour because I wanted a Light Ivory car so much.

Pardon the pun but Sepia is a marmite colour, some love it others hate it. I have a close friend who has a Sepia 911, I personally think it's a great colour but there's a lot of haters out there. 914's have never been popular in the UK but we all know that is starting to change, although I hate to admit it a Sepia 914 may be a little tougher to sell in the UK.

Interiors can be changed easily but if you think every time you open the garage door you will feel that it’s not the car you wanted, it’s probably not the car to purchase.

Yes, 47329xxxxx

BTW, my cars have black interior, but brown or tan are cooler on a hot day. Our Jetta has a white leather interior that we just love.

ivory seems to be more available in a 914/6 and 914 with a 1700cc engine not easy to find a good 73/74 car in whitre with a 2.0
