Does anyone know this car or the color and wing mirrors it has.

I think it looks fantastic and thinking of painting my 69 the same color.

Thanks

Could be Porsche 1973/4
Saturn Yellow.
It’s a greenish yellow, slightly into dull brass
The colour changes very much depending on light.

Wow, this colour looks fantastic on a +2.

It's a light version of Harry Metcalfe's green Jag.

Is there a green car thread on here?... There is a blue one.
