What I do like is that the first photo looks like Mako blue. That's why lightning silver is my second favourite ;-)

To be honest Johnny Boy, MOST of the lighter shaded silver AMs I see do indeed have a sort of blue hue to them.

Some pics recently posted on the Bright Grille topic I actually thought were indeed Mako, until noted by the poster.

Must be an optical illusion - perhaps something in the pigmentation? - and I'm relieved I'm not the only one seeing it smile

"brave" interior!

I saw Mako blue next to Lightning Silver last weekend. They are close but the Mako a more defined blue and doesn't change colour in different lights, in dull light it almost looks like a pastel colour. Lightning has tints in the lacquer and changes alot with different lights, its alot like the TVR "chameleon" colours. I've not seen a photo on here yet that true shows the range of colours from it.
In certain lights it has a purple tone to it.

Dealers often get the description wrong, they seem to copy a generic set then add the wrong options!
I've also seen a few N400's up for sale with AM dealers who have no idea what it is laugh

It pays to do your homework! wink

Mikey - no no no!!!!

"Mako a more defined blue and doesn't change colour in different lights"

That's plain wrong!!

I have a photo of my car in the basement car park I use under old fashioned fluorescent tube lighting and it looks golden

The interior on that one is fantastic! Just a shame about the exterior colour, would look nice in something like Slate blue.

Love the interior on that, so nice to see something other than black on any sort of Vantage.

Nicest one I've seen so far, IF ONLY THE ROOF CAME OFF mad
