Anyone else got an Irish Green mk 1?

Not able to find another one online only a caddy.

Mine was registered in Jan '84 as a 1.1c.

Any info on other mk1s the same colour would be gratefully received.

Thanks

8O I've never seen that colour before.. looks nice 8)

but what info are you after.. paint codes, places to find etc :detective:

Just wanted to see another one! Was it one year only??

according to a quick search - the colour was more likely seen on porsche 911s of early and karmann ghias - but like i say, I've never seen another, and I've been in this game for 4 years.

Maybe you're onto a classic here, i'll continue searching for some history

Thanks, I'll get some pics up when I can. Have found a cabriolet with ats cups in the same colour, that's all so far. You could be onto something with the porsche, but karmann ghias were much earlier than the paint code suggests.

Here it is, so has anyone got one this colour?

are we assuming that this is the same colour it came out the factory with?

The boot lid (first pic) and the inside is in factory paint, the outside has had a respray, but yes in original colour, as far as I know.

i'm quite sure i've seen a couple of tin top late non gti model mk1s in this or very similar colour. that's assuming it's non metalic.

What the paint code on the sticker in the boot or your service book?

If you go to the bodywork section of the forum, at the top there is a sticky that has a lot of the paint codes on there - along with optional extras etc.

Have a look and see if yours is there.

I've got one dude

just needs a bit of a clean up

Wow very unusual colour I like it!

I think my first Mk1 was the same colour…

That defo looks like the 911 targa top green from the early 80s.

this is mine, its a mk2 oak green tbh but its not toooo disimilar

Excellent, now we're cooking!
I think it is quite a rare colour.
Mk1ed; that looks almost exactly like mine, thanks.
Loving the retro old photos and oak green looks good on a cab.
Keep 'em coming, I'll upload some more of mine pretty soon, new wheels going on and exhaust being modded at the moment.

Isn't it blue though, not Irish Green?
