Hi All
My name is Manks, nice to meet you all.
Can I just say what a great thread this is. Green is an under-rated colour for Porsches and I can see it making a comeback. I am currently contemplating a new green 997, and it will be a classic colour.
Here are a couple more green snaps for you:
This is Lindgrun metallic.
... and I THINK this is, but I am open to offers on it being something else.
I am not sure what this is:
I am seriously considering a Carrera S in the colour of 1. above.

Manks: Thanks for the pics. Lindgrün is of course German for "Lime Green". Lime Green was a color offered by Porsche from 1974-1977 (color code 137) and Lime Green Metallic was offered in 1976 (color code L96N). Given that the cars above are all 911SCs, which didn't start production until 1978, that may not actually be Lime Green. The first car looks like it could be Silver Green, a 928 color. And that would fit with the time period. The third car could be Green Metallic, which was an earlier color, but that could be a paint to sampel job. Little known fact, the last 928 ever produced was a paint to sample Lime Green Metallic.
Silver Green
The above 911SC
Silver Green
The above 911SC
These two cars look like a color that was called "Apple Green Metallic" I think......
This 928 is also Lindgrün Green Metallic (It's labeled wrong on the Aussie website):
same as:
As for the last US 928 (last built for the US, not the last built as Porsche AG kept it for the museum) the color is called Pearlglanz Metallic or Pearl Green Metallic.

My "Green Afterburner", Strosek 911 Turbo is Signal Green, which differs from 997 GT3 RS green (I don't know the code of RS green, but Signal Green is more bright than new RS green as I found out when comparing it to my friends 997RS). Picture is from "Green Hell" Nürburgring Nordschleife this year appr. 2 weeks ago.
Here is enclosed some pics of it and some other cars of mine:
