on our 93 broschure it says that years cars came in Cardinal Red, Darkcharcoal Clearcoat Metallic, Polar White, Marine Blue Clearcoat Metallic, Platinum Clearcoat Metallic, Everglade Green Clearcoat Metallic. The marine blue was a late availiblilty, and so was Stratosphere Blue. Our color isnt even listed in the 92 brochure, but our sticker on the door sill claims it was built in 92, and was painted MX (stratosphere)

Ok, so so far with 91 and 92, wheve got indigo, marine blue, and stratosphere blue. Anyone else wanna share their years colors?

The "Cobalt" that Rob mentioned earlier is the '94 dark metallic blue we discussed earlier (Thanks, Rob!).

mine was originaly Cobalt Blue.  If you look at the first pic in the gallery, that will give a great look at the cobalt color.

If I did'nt want a yellow car so much, mine would still be blue.

Bob-
The Cobalt blue is one of the best Capri colors, IMO, but you sure can't beat your LOUD yellow!!
I just posted 3 pictures of the as-yet-to-be-identified factory blue in my Yahoo Photos, in the "Miata-Capri headlight mod" file (  http://photos.yahoo.com/magnumsdaddy  )the other new picture is 2 of my parts Capris, and if you look REAl close, you can see the teal '94.
I also added a new file ("93 XR2"), of the black 93 XR2 I just picked up last week for $800.  The dealer wanted $1595, but I managed to talk him down.  He knew nothing about Capri's and luckily, I knew enough to convince him it was only worth the $800.  Not to bad- 101k miles, leather interior, and a fairly straight, rust-free body with new tires.  Badly in need of a new top though!
Watch out Bob-I may be bringing 6 cars to the meet this year!!

Thats cool Russ.  I saw a 94 in autotrader for a grand, but they never got back to me.  Oh well, I almost had two. ha ha  

As for the gathering, I am anticipating at least 32 cars this year.  Should be fun!!!

For all of you interested in the 94 for $1000 on Autotrader.com--- Don't waste your time!!  I went and looked at it today (it's 11 miles from my home)
and it's a 91.  They said it had 55K, it has 65K.
No title, no keys, and the car has not been started in 4 years.  I took a couple of pictures, and will post them in my Yahoo photos files.

Sorry, Rob, you need to keep looking, I guess!!

I'd say the colour is Indigo Blue... It changes from blue to a charcoal black in different light... But you can confirm that by looking on your compliance plate... In Australia the colour code is I9 but I think it was different in the US?
