help on colour?

[Prof Pat Pending]

Sorry about this, i bet this subject has been covered loads of times. Took the plunge two weeks ago and placed my deposit on a T350.I have to spec it on monday and to be honest i still haven't got a clue.I fancy grey or a blue but want something different.I like the grigios and the halcyon blue but still not sure.Just checked on the Aston Martin site and the brochure on the V12 Vanquish shows a fine example in a metallic grey which looks the nuts and probably better in the 350.Sorry im no good with IT so cant post a Pic.Does anyone know what colour Aston call this or has anyone gota ny useful suggestions. I have also considered a flat mid grey like the 1960's Jaguars although im not sure what it was called.Thanks all in anticipation its driving the Mrs round the twist!!

What this color?
IMHO i think the dark greys look lovley and anthrasite alloys like

[Prof Pat Pending]

Thats torn it!! I like the venezian blue that Henly's have for sale and i like the pic of the grigio at Gorners but that Aston looks slightly darker which i like the look of.Thanks for a swift response!!!can you help with the colour?

?? what ya mean? what colour is it?

[Prof Pat Pending]

Sorry Tim i Get what ur Saying.If i choose the aston colour the factory will have to know the name of the colour to get the correct shade.so i would need to say that it was gunmetal grey or starmist blue.Hope im making sense now!!

No - can you help paint it - it's a new money-saving TVR option - get your mates to come round, have a few beers and paint the car.

[TimW]

ahhh just looked that colour is Tungsten
Silver if thats any help?...

My Chim is Storm Grey Metallic.

[Prof Pat Pending]

Thanks TimW. It's the missus here, the other half has now nipped out to watch rugby locally and asked that I reply. Thought Aston would have given it a more unusual name, Tungsten Silver seems a bit boring. Then I suppose we are talking prestige where Aston are concerned.
Again, quick response is very much appreciated, he only has til Monday to choose!!!!

[TimW]

Cool what interior colour you lookign at??

[Prof Pat Pending]

Interior is going to be light grey leather with dark grey carpet and dark grey inserts on the door, possibly with dark grey leather inserts where ya bum goes. He's not too sure about the anthrocite wheels and was thinking of having just silver, I take it you would disapprove. Any other colour suggestions? Thinking more classic and easily resaleable than too wacky and the boy's getting on a bit. Don't want him to look too much of a plank!

[Prof Pat Pending]

Nice colour Supraman, how on earth did you manage to drive it in the snow? Something I will leave to Prof to do. Think he will have trouble as has a TTR at the mo and laughs at everyone sliding around in the show!
(The missus speaking, Prof gone out)

That photo was taken about a year ago.

There was snow where I live, but once I got onto the main road it was all clear.

If your going to get a dark grey car a dark burgandy red leather interior is a fantastic combination

Whatever you choose don't forget to psot the pic's.

[Prof Pat Pending]

thanks all back from the rugby(so thats where i went!).I have been given a june delivery date so will post pics as soon as i can.
Pesty..I really have thought long and hard about mulberry interior but find its hard to contrast the rest of the interior. if its all the same colour its looks a bit much.(only seen it in photos,bet it looks better in the flesh)
cant wait for delivery and looking forward to meeting other PHERS.
I guess essex is closest to Hertford for local TVRCC!

Have a look at my T350 in my profile.

Iced Titanium (Gun Metal grey) with Black and Mulberry interior. Looks great, very classy and a little Aston Martin (even if I do say so myself).

Prof Pat - quick suggestion, vist an Aston dealership and ask to see their colour panels. Rich...

This is what I did when I ordered my Griff, however it was made easy because the TVR dealer also sold Astons!

[Prof Pat Pending]

Thanks for all the suggestions.Still not sure but gotta be silver grey.The mrs likes the aston colour and i like the Aston colour.Will have to wait to see how the interior looks.
Trouble is ive just seen the thread on the part red rose package.now ive got another quandry????
hey ho!!!

[jigs]

Hey with two quandries who needs a T350?
