Yep, it's a factory color!  Marine Blue was available in '92, and '93. One of my parts cars was this color.
Doesn't look to bad for under a grand!

It just struck me as funny, "I" don't recall the color.  I've been kinda active in the Capri community for about 10 years, and I am uncertain of a color.  I am not sure if I've seen it at a Gathering.  It's either that, or the altzhiemers is starting.

According to my feeble memory, Marine Blue has never made an appearance at the MACG!

8 years of gatherings, 100's of cars, and not one made an appearance.  That is a rare color indeed.

Hey Guys,

Yes, we had a Marine Blue one during the 7th MACG...   it is picture #65 on Russ's Photo's (of our fleet on the tracks)....  the car furthest away....   We have since sold the Marine Blue...  The new owners live here in Indiana..  Hoping to get them to join us for this years MACG...

I hope this refreshes everyone's memory....  Isn't it terrible to get old!!!!

My excuse is that the car was waaaaaay off on the side, and well hidden, so I don't remember it being there!

Thanks Russ...   I am right now and then!!!  Not very often though...

We have had the pleasure of owning all the colors at one point in time except for the "Charcoal"....  Someday!!!  It is my dream to own a 1994 Charcoal - in great shape....   It will happen someday!!!!
