Default Is this the Rare Spectra Blue Paint?

I haven't really looked at many 2GSs' but I'm currently looking at one im interested in but the pictures don't do it much justice. Thoughts?



(Interior Pic because I like the seats haha)

The first picture looks dark purplish, the second looks almost black, and the interior looks of suede or basic cloth option for Aristo's considering that is RHD. To answer your question, I would say no it is not the rare spectra blue seeing that spectra blue is much brighter than the paint on the car pictured.

It should say on the door jam label too, by the paint code. I like the seats though. Reminds me of my STi

Not sure what color that is because of the lighting. It's definitely not the Blue Mica color though and those seats are awful.

It's the blue onyx color. Another rare color you rarely see on the GS's. I've only seen this color ONCE in person. Very similar to seeing a black cherry GS.
