Mines Cascade Copper, see links on my profile.
Alan.
Nearly speced my 350T in Cascade Copper, wimped out in the end though and went for something more subtle.
It made the final three in my shortlist but I was put off by the cost.
Hats off to you though, it looks wild.
Tks yep it can be wild but actually the car turns either reddy/purpley or gold....on some days (and depending where it is parked) it can be crazy with all the colours coming out at once. It turns heads/stops traffic wherever it goes...

That car looks familiar BenBen!
Hi Andy,
I love it. (I hope you don't mind that I posted your car on here) I took them at the mid Essex meet Sunday gone, beautiful colour.
I’m specing a new Cerbera and liked this colour, a bit apprehensive though as I don't know what it will look like on a Cerbi.
BTW, do you have anymore pics you can send me plz?
Thx in advance.
P.S. If you like the pics I took I'll send you the originals.

No probs BenBen. I haven't got many pictures of my car, the best is on my profile, so I took a couple on Sunday myself as it was sunny!
The Chameleon Blue colour was first specced for a New Zealand bloke who was buying a Cerbera. I think TVR then painted one on of their press Tuscans in that colour - which was the one they had on Top Gear.
Anyway, I've seen a Chameleon Blue Cerbera and my opinion - don't do it. Whereas the curves of the bonnet of the Tuscan really brings out the shades, I don't think it really works with the flat bonnet of the Cerbera.
Try to see one before you spec. it.
Cheers,
Andy.
Editted to say a back issue (38 ?) of EVO had a Chameleon Blue or Green Cerbera in it. Maybe worth worth a look. I would scan it if I had a scanner!

Interestingly (?) enough I saw that NZ Cerby at the factory in Jan 2000, it was just about to be shipped out to it's owner.
I was there to see my Tuscan in final build and Danielle showed me this "new type of paint" that this NZ guy had sourced and shipped over to TVR for his car. She said they had trouble spraying it and never wanted to use it again, three months later one of the press Tuscans appeared in the same colour
Anyway when I ordered my 2nd Tuscan in July 2000 I specced it in Chameleon Blue so was probably the first customer car in that colour
(now they're soooo last year - onlt joking Andy 
)

(now they're soooo last year - onlt joking Andy )Ben - I have a Tuscan in Formula Chameleon Green (similar Green/Blue colour combination to the Swordfish Chameleon Blue, but more Green than Blue - if you see what I mean !). Pics linked to my profile.
Picking up on Andy's comment in a previous post, I picked a Chameleon paint for the Tuscan because the curves in the body work really bring out the 2 colour effect.
Not sure how it would look on a Cerbera - although I think TVR had a press car Cerbera in that colour that used to feature in their brochure. They also had the first 350 in the same colour, so I suppose someone at Blackpool must like it.
Cheers, Max

I think you must mean sooo the year before last year
! I was looking at it today thinking that TVR did quite a good job spraying my car as the finish still looks good. This year Spectraflare Disco paint is definitely in. We'll see how they compare with the chameleon paints in a couple of years......
If I bought another Tuscan what colour would I chose. Mmmm. Possible bright red with a Union Jack roof. Nice!
