Has anybody been over to Walldonway TVR in Maidstone lately?
I had a look in their showroom recently and saw, what must be the best looking Cerbera I have ever seen.
They've got it on display upstairs. It's a brand spanker finished in a really different bluey colour!

In my opinion, it is absolutly gorgeous and recommend that anybody who lives nearby, has a look!

Slightly out of my price range unfortunatly, so i'm off to buy some lottery tickets!!!

I've checked out their web site, but the car i'm talking about is not on there!

I thought it may be the one with the twin lamps on the new car page. Good site though?

It is a pretty good site, but it's a pity they haven't got a picture of the car i'm talking about! It really is hard to explain the colour! It's pale blue, but turns a sort of white colour at different angles!
Maybe not be to everyones taste, but deffinatly a real head turner! I'll envy whoever buy's it!

Could have been. I have only ever seen pictures of Crystal Topaz TVR's and it's difficult to get the full effect from a photo!

Yup, its Crystal Topaz. Shows bronze-gold colour when the light strikes it.

Mine is the same colour - check out my profile for pictures (although as you say it is not easy to see the effect in photographs).

Crystal Topaz is the bluey White colour (TVRs own colour?)

Nuvola Blue is the bluey Bronze colour (an Alfa colour - you see a few 156s in it)

Mmmm.... this debate has been raging for some time between myself and my friendly local dealer. Mine certainly has the bluey-bronze colour but is listed as 'Crystal Topaz' in the accompanying documentation.

Crystal Topaz is certainly a TVR colour (the original Tuscan motor show cars couldn't be painted in an Alfa-only colour), but I have also seen Tuscans specced with Nuvola Blue.

Whichever way round it is, my bluey-bronze Cerbera looks great

If you are over Walldonway tomorrow you may see my car. Imperial Blue Cerb, had it ten weeks (my first TVR!), already had a new starter motor and now just won't start. Fingers crossed something simple so I have it back for the weekend(& warranty pays!). At least I'll be able to give it a blast through Dartford Tunnel once fixed (sports exhaust so should be good!).

I agree! Looked at the photo on your profile- Lovely car, like the number plate too!
I would have asked the dealer what the colour was, but there were no TVR guy's there, just a Suzuki salesman! (late Sunday afternoon). Will have to go back for another look this weekend!

I'll look out for it, if it's still there.As you say though, lets hope it's something simple!
