Its a photo i dug up in an old thread which i think is my car back in the day.

 

My car has been painted a different colour but am in the process of doing a complete bare metal restoration and repaint in original colour.

 

I want to build the car and give it to my Dad.

 

There is overspary inside the car and roof pillars and parcel shelf of the original adriatic turqiouse which matches the tags but i cannot find any photos of other LJ GTRs in the same colour.

Have a look behind your kick panels and behind your door trims in the back and anywhere else that would be hard to paint and you will surely find some evidence of the original colour.

I don't think I've ever heard of it before but I haven't been around as long as a lot of the blokes in here :-)

Yea there's the original paint everywhere inside.

I've spoken to Bazza and he only has one listed in his records which is my car!

Well geez luiz if bazz only has one listing i highly doubt there will be any more!

What an interesting story. So 13883 is definitely adriatic turquoise? I wonder what the history behind the car is? I would be pretty chuffed to own a one off factory coloured car!

That's what I thought to myself as well if he doesn't know of anymore then the rest of us have no hope of finding any haha.

I'd love to know the story as well but I doubt well ever find out. Yep that colour code is Adriatic turquoise metallic

^ I'm a member of that group as well as a few other Torana ones. So much misinformation it's not funny. I'll see guys posting a question and then get bogus answers; I usually redirect them to this forum where they can read up on it and I'm sure quite a few new members came here from that. The amount of people there that believe an A9X has a full UC floorpan is staggering.
