What colour is this?

[cutmonster]

Folks,
Anyone got an idea? It's the bottom of the two cars shown...

Silver?

If you have alook at the the TMS site they have a colour finder thingy for both interior and exterior in the gallery area www.tmstvr.co.uk/

and having just had a look myself it could be 'audi silver'.

Could be a poor picture of Crystal Topaz, a popular colour, well it is with me!

[cutmonster]

Ta folks. Whatever it is (and I will check TMS) it is gorgeous!

Top one looks like Fern Green and the bottom one like Brilliant Silver.

This leads me to three conclusions:

They are either two cars, two photos taken with a shite camera or the colour is Crystal Verde!

IIRC they're the same car in different light - they might even be press shots by TVR as there were a number of similar ones doing the rounds when the car was originally launched (notice the 'old'-style 16 inch wheels)

It is a motorshow car from the 1999 motorshow in Earls court. They had it upstairs by the bar. TVR also made numerous posters/postcards with this car. Definitely some sort of green.

Ring the factory and they will tell you the colour.

cheers

They are indeed TVR press pics, they were on several of the TVR Postcards series as well as posters and the like. The colour is Crystal Verde though looks different is some of the pics

Nice car...fancy the silver though. TMS do actually have a silver one and I may pop up to the showroom to have a spin. Still agonising over losing the sound of my V8 chim though...
...never ever thought I could get so attached to a piece of machinery. When I sell it, I'm gonna be very, very sad. I guess you always remember you're first Blackpool beast...

that last one for sale is BMW Aplhine Green Metallic, with matching full hide interior.

Looks superb

The silver colour looks like Porsche Polar Silver (same as my RR Tuscan). Picks of mine (671AMU) can be found on TVRCC Scotland web-site. (URL ?) Mine's NOT for sale though. I've had it since new in 2000, and it still makes me smile. Now sits on 40 profile Toyos, which seem to suit better than the Bridgestone 35s. Don't see anything I'd swap my RR Tuscan for (TVR or otherwise) at the moment. Claire at Dreadnought has helped to iron out any earlier problems, and car goes and handles like an S, but without the external parcel-shelf (which my wife reckons hides the Tuscan's boot-line smile !). The T350C is 100 times better looking than Tamora, which (IMHO) is the ugliest car TVR have ever made. A T350C targa with Tuscan S power might appeal (or is that more or less what I already have ???). Anyway, this is the first post I've made in years (I had to re-register as had forgotten my password and changed e-mail addresses several times in the interim). These days I mostly spend my free time having fun in the car. - Unlike the early days when I found the Gassing Station to be my major source of imformation on problems and upgrades !

Allan, sounds as if you have got my perfect car...
...the hunt will continue for a Silver beast! (Preferably Red Rose too.)

TMS have got a Tuscan demonstrator in Lexus Silver. They kindly loaned it to me for five weeks whilst my Tamora was back at the factory.

Loved the car, but hated the electric windows!

I could live with the fiddly controls, but both windows went haywire and only went up halfway when the doors were closed. It totally ruined the pose when I got my arm shut in the drivers window whilst trying to reach the control to close it from outside the car!

It was bloody painfull too, as the window didn't seem to have any kind of pressure sensor to put it into reverse, so it just kept trying to mash my arm in to the roof.

I was just about to the window when I remembered that all I had to do was press the button to open the door.

TMS have a very nice Tuscan in 'Grigio Titanio' that I nearly bought (went for a Moonraker black one in the end). It's a really nice dark silver - not as dark as gunmetal grey but not bright silver. I've been told it's a Ferrari colour, but it looks very tasty on a Tuscan
