Coupe spotting - saw this in Ronco, a small village near Locarno in Switzerland.

Never spotted the owner and it is a pre 74 judging by the seats and is a manual shift. Seats were tan leather with center parts that looked like cloth.

What is the name of that green color? It is a darkish green metallic not real dark.


And apologies for quality, phone camera and sun was in a bad angle with no way to work around it.

Odd no head rests?Or maybe this is normal for Europe.

Thx guys.

So two votes for Tundra? And one each for Agave and Turkis? But I know it is not too easy to tell from the pics.

Regarding the headrests the seats may be reupholstered as they did not look quite original and the owner maybe deleted the headrests then? It is not normal for Europe. Kinda dumb as those and the seatbelts are about the only safety features on the car

And speaking of safety, it has popped into my mind once or twice on the Autobahn when I have been going at 200+kph. If something happens I am really toast.....

the lighting of the pix make it a little difficult to be sure for me - some pix look like tundra + others like agave. the flash on the trunk looks more like tundra, but that's why i have attached the pic of the inside of the agave trunk - there seems to be more blue in the green on the pics - which is why i say agave -

Thanks for the tips on color but it is tricky to say, I only saw it in a very strong morning sun that was directly on the car. This is the reason for the bright pics, was impossible to work around. And some colors do change a lot in character depending on the light.

But anyways, was fun to see it and it has probably not been on the board before. Unfortunately the VIN is not on the plates here so I could grab that.
