Found on ebay, this color looks very nice. Can anybody help to identify?

Kinda looks like a later BMW color: possibly Anthracite? Dark metalic grey.

What color??

My vote goes to Anthracite--may or may not be the original color on that coupe--a few were.

Did become a fairly popular color in the mid 70's and on a number of 2002's in the square tailight series.

Bill Marceau--once active on this board--had a Coupe in Antracite--since sold but don't know where it went.

I have seen one Anthracite CSi in the UK. I recall it being a later car (1975) and am pretty sure it was the original colour. The interior was red leather and it was a really nice colour combination.

It belonged to a guy called Nick Brown, from the Stirling area of Scotland. Nick and I met after he was Coupe spotting in the car park of a VW show my wife and I went to in the grounds of the Doune motor museum about 1993. He saw my CSi and left a note on the windscreen.

Last I heard Nick was away working in London, then possibly USA.
Dont know if the car was taken down to London.
