135 coupe Montego Blue photos

I'm pretty sure this is the Montego Blue color. I haven't seen a spy photo in this color until now

That looks more like Le-Mans Blue. It is an M-sport.

Great Find Irv. Thanks for posting.

LeMans Blue is only available in Germany with 261M
split 5-spoke wheels...and that ain't them.

It's really going to come down to what you want to do with the car...

If the car will see any shows, any extensive exterior modifications, then the Montego is definately the way to go, it stands out from the crowd....

If you are looking for a good daily driver that looks classy, I think white is the way to go. Remember, in FL, white cars do well with the heat, but having a black/dark colored car in this FL heat equals a very hot car everytime you get in it...

:eyebulge: Wow that is incredible! It does look more like Le Mans Blue though. If it is, sadly we will not get it in the US.

It'll certainly remind ME of that car, but then see what I currently drive.

Montego blue is a slightly deeper blue than the World Rally blue in Subarus, but I think they are still too close to get away with gold rims without looking too subyish.

That Montego Blue reminds me of Estoril Blue in the E36 M3. Anyone else think it's close?
