I'm about to get new carpets made up but can't decide whether to stay with the original navy blue carpet with Portland grey piping or go for something different.

How about Orange. It is as it came out of the factory (except the stereo)

Think it was only a factory option:



Doubt you'd be able to get them now unless you struck really lucky with a breaker. I've only ever seen a couple other than mine with them.

Portland is a really light grey, not white. It obviously shows up marks more than a darker colour but if you keep on top of it, it looks smart. My seats are the opposite to S6 Devil's ie black inserts, grey outer. Also good to have the dash top in the darker colour to avoid reflections.

I'm not sure it's actually brass on the switch gear is it. It's just anodised which you could remove. Parts of the dash appear to be brass.

What was the New Vehicle Sales discount at £2,700? Didn't think TVR gave discounts back then?

My Swordfish Tuscan was £45K in November 2000 so surprised at the price of £40K in 2003 (and apart from A/C and the Chameleon Blue paint I don't think I had too many expensive options).

It was actually Jan 2004 by which time the market had turned against them. If you also notice the order date and delivery date are only two weeks apart so must have been dealer stock. It obeys the following equation:

Softened market + Mk2 on its way + January + repeat customer trading in Cerb = Discount Ker-chingggg
