    Market Find: Is this 2007 Boxster an Early Nordic Gold?

    What: 2007 Porsche Boxster S
    Color: Unconfirmed, Believed Nordic Gold (nordischgoldmetallic; metallic UNI; M2Z / 8W; Porsche)

    We’re not 100% confirmed on the color of this well-kept 987 Boxster S, but we believe it’s Nordic Gold Metallic. The period is correct, and there aren’t a lot of colors close to this in the Porsche Paint to Sample palette so we’re fairly safe in saying it. Whatever it is though, it’s handsome and tastefully paired with a close-to-tone interior.

    Nordic Gold Metallic is perhaps best known for being a launch color on the Porsche 911 Targa (type 997). Even though that’s an exceptionally rare car, we’re guessing you’re more than likely to have seen one of those than you are to have seen Nordic Gold on an early Boxster S like this one.

    Interestingly, it’s a Tiptronic. Because it’s an early 987 and not a later 987.5, this means it’s got the torque converter automatic rather than twin clutch DSG. Regardless, it’s an incredibly handsome cruiser.

    Market Find: Paint to Sample Nordic Gold Porsche 911 GT3 Touring

    Porsche’s GT3 variants of their 911 range seem to be the frequent flyers of the Paint to Sample and Sonderwunsch world these days, with Touring seemingly having Platinum status. It’s easy to see why- the GT3 Touring’s near-perfect mix of sport and comfort makes it a compelling forever car, so you might as well make your order count.

    This 2023 Porsche 911 GT3 Touring in Paint to Sample Nordic Gold (VIN: WP0AC2A94PS270254) was configured with nearly $53,000 in optional equipment, requiring a discerning eye to really digest the scope of this build. It’s a mix of must-haves like the expanded range fuel tank (drive it!), carbon ceramic brakes and front axel lift, and some nice to haves like the carbon roof, deviated seat belts in grey, and LED-matrix headlights.

    Currently offered on Bring a Trailer by power seller Northwest European (username “nweuro”) at a current bid of $229,666 at time of writing with roughly 3 days left to bid, this Paint to Sample Nordic Gold Porsche 911 GT3 Touring represents a great opportunity to own one of the least common hues of Stuttgart’s creation.
