If you can figure out the code, (and know my bucket list cars) then you'll know something about what will be replacing my BRZ tS in about a months time.

That’s the Cadbury dairy milk color… or Royal Purple.
Are you getting A Porsche Targa 73-75 ish to help out on local milk production?

My Second guess is a product with a big hemi.

I may be quite wrong here, care offer any other clues.

The colour is also known as Purple Reign. This car is over 30 years old and the basic design is over 35 years older than that.

Lotus Super 7. Holy crap! You do live reasonably close to a racetrack, I presume.

Congratulations.

Details? Year, engine, etc....

I'm north of Trenton so ya... About an hour & 20 minutes to Mosport, (Canadian Tire Motorsports Park) 40 minutes to Shannonville and 2 1/2 hours to Calabogie. But, my track days are over plus, this is too specail of a car to flog at the track. This is going to be my fun in the sun, old man at cars-n-coffee, enjoy the back roads, weekend machine.

@Stephen W That is super cool and I'd say it does purple a lot more justice than a Plymouth Prowler, that's for sure. It was Colin Chapman's Exige/Evora before they were conceptualized. Relatively small carbon footprint compared to many of the cars it could lap, with a skilled driver.

Finally, hopefully, (fingers crossed) we got all the paperwork corrected so now the transport company can move ahead on scheduling pick-up, border crossing and delivery to the shop that’s going to go over it and get it certified. So… I might see it by the end of March.
