Welcome to Continental Orange.com, a website for my 1976 Porsche 911 Carrera 3.0 Coupe. I will add more to it as ownership takes hold and the modifying process continues. Note that most pictures on this site are a link, either to a bigger pic or another page.

The latest update to the site features pictures from the 911 & Porsche World feature on this car and Nigel Watson’s Lime Green 2.7 Carrera, as well as pictures from our 2007 Welsh Drive.

Original C3

The Orange started life as a very cool ‘kupferbraun’ Carrera 3.o Coupe. You can see some great pre-restoration pictures here.

Restoration

The car as you see it today was built up from the bare-metal shell of the C3. Here are four pages of pictures which chronograph the high-quality restoration carried out by the previous owner, GeorgeK, and various specialist firms.

Bodywork

Here we detail some of the modifications the car has had to the bodywork, and some of the rare factory lightweight parts fitted. There are also pictures of the three different tails and the two rear bumpers which the car runs at various times.

Interior

The interior is quite different from how it left the factory back in 1976, and now features a lightweight alloy Heigo half-cage, some very special Recaro seats and a number of other worthy additions. As with the rest of the car, each alteration was made with the intention of returning a very pure driving experience.

Mechanical

Many of the mechanical parts have been replaced or rebuilt. Details and pictures of the work done so far can be found here. Though there are quite a few things that have already been changed, there are lots more changes we can make here. This is one of my favourite aspects of The Orange.

Other Oranges

This section is all about other Continental Orange cars I have tripped over on the internet. Some fantastic, some interesting and some strange, but all exceedingly ORANGE.

Contact and Links

Please feel free to get in touch, we love to hear from Orange fans all over the world. If you have a Continental Orange car we would love to host a picture of it! Our links pages are mainly aimed at Porsche 911 enthusiasts, but we would also be glad to swap links with other ‘Orange’ car sites.
