Parked next to an E92 at Lime Rock today

JSpira · 09-03-2006, 06:03 PM

It was a good opportunity to compare exterior colors. I think Space Grey lacks the depth of Sparkling Graphite (and Titansilber for that matter) but it is not bad. The weather ranged from cloudy to sunny to partly cloudy again so I had a chance (passing by a few times) to see both colors in different light conditions.

Here are a few other photos as well:

1.) Parked at Lime Rock
2.) View of the grounds from the lunch tent
3.) One of the prize winners!
4.) Race car (I´m not sure what this is based on)
5.) More Rolls Royces (thanks to the RR Owners´ Club) were on display than any other marque

Great photos!

Love where you parked, next to the track?

I agree that Space Grey seems to pale in comparison with Sparkling Graphite or Titansilber. But as you said, it´s not bad, either.

Ja, I chatted with the owner of the 3.0 - the car is pretty much original (i.e. not refurbished) except for the leather upholstery and carpeting (see photo here). And he made sure the pleats matched the original ones.

I believe that E92 had CSLs because it was a 328 with Sport Package
