According to Andreas Gabriel in 'Porsche Speedster. Legends live forever' 1989 – 2011 Andreas Gabriel and Tobias Kindermann. Pub Berlin Motor Books 2016 pp 198 and 246there were 37 Maritime Blue Speedsters produced – but only one in RHD. So the Little Blue Porsche is the only blue RHD example made.
The ‘standard’ colours were:
Guards Red Grand Prix White Maritime Blue Speed Yellow Black
All tonneau covers for 964 Speedsters were only available in black as standard but potential new owners could specify a colour of their choice.
The Wheels for the Standard Colours were colour matched apart from the Black which, with all non-standard colours, were silver.
The wheels on the Little Blue Porsche were, of course, changed by Gordon Maclean to restore the car to its original Techart spec and are thus silver.
Kevin Yeung writes that there were three 964 Speedsters imported into Hong Kong, one Guards Red, one Black and the other Polar Silver.
The colours and popularity were:
Guards Red 254 Black 231 White 143 Yellow 92 Silver 84 Maritime Blue 37 Metallic Night Blue 23 Colour to Choice 21 Metallic Black 17 Wimbledon metallic green 7 Metallic Violet 4 Metallic raspberry red 4 Metallic Silver 2 Slate Gray 2 Mint Green 2 Metallic Amazon Green 1
