Took my usual two weekly trawl through Crashed Exotics site and found this:

www.wreckedexotics.com/newphotos/exotics/tvr_20030605_002.shtml

It looks to be the same colour as Flashers old one, and I know that there have only been a few made of this colour....

If it is the same colour as Flashers old one there were only two...

His and the press car...

In fact, I reckon thats the press car.

Plotloss - really only two? I thought that one dealer had a demonstrator the same colour.... then there was the TVR100 factory one... but then again I could be completely wrong and I usually am

Did Flasher's have the colour coded bonnet vents?

Flashers was TMS's demo IIRC...

My money is on the press car still, the one at the motorshow was identical to that one...

Oh and TVR 100 is now on the Spectraflair Silver T350, coincidence?

And the backdrop for the car fits with the Blackpool factory... you know - a dive...

TVR 100 always goes on the newest model/press car.

I think this is the car we saw a couple of months ago crashed near the TVR Centre in Barnet. It belonged to one of their customers and was quite new (still being run in). He lost it on the roundabout and crashed into a traffic island. Car was a write off but thankfully the driver was OK.

Its most definately not the press car. Apart from the fact the Tamora its at the factory - the wrecked car is the wrong yellow.

Mine was a different paint to the crashed one aswell. My paint was Lamborghini Orion pearl yellow (same as the Murceilago) and to my knowledge they only did one in that colour.I'm not sure what the factory demo colour was but the others are all "halcyon Midas Pearl" which isn't the same...

I tried to get one in the same colour when i originally specced my car and they refused to do it, so I had to prise the demo car from TMS!!!
