Does anybody recognise this?





I would like to have one of my MR Collection 959 kits finished like this, but I need more information first (and more pictures). This picture I have is the only one I have ever seen - it was included with a collection of other Porsche pictures and no explanation. Hopefully someone might know the car, or even the insignia on the wheel...

Here's a couple I found. Apparently it was for an Arabian customer, Qatar?






Cheers,

Lawrence

Wow, fantastic - thanks Lawrence!

Actually, since starting this thread, a whole lot more searching has turned up a few possible clues. The only reference I can find to non-standard colours on a 959 are:
metallic blue (German pianist Justus Frantz)
dark green (King Hussein of Jordan)
gold (a Sheik from Dubai?)
and bronze, which seems to be the one I am looking for (possibly the Emir of Qatar?).

I had also just managed to unearth one more useful picture, the rear shot you just posted.
