Hi Phil
the paint colour should be shown on the VIN plate under the bonnet on the nearside bulkhead . If ts original you can determine the colour from the code.

Thecodes are listed here (from the useful links wiki)

I cant argue with him on that one...

it looks a nice car so it will be interesting to hear more about it and see some more pictures.

Body code please.

Not a blue that I've seen on an S before - perhaps the camera flash accentuates the blueness ??. If in real life the car is a paler blue like this :



..then I'll take a guess at Paris Blue.

or alternatively..

it's Subaru Willow Green, the yellow 555 stripes should be an easy job for your local vinyl dealer. Do you own that blue Reliant as well ?

Might be a Mist Blue

It looks like a similar colour to my S2, which is Azure Blue. If you post your paint code I can compare it with mine. I can't remember what it is at present and it's freezing out in the garage at the moment

Ketvrin and anyone interested.

I went to view this S3 sometime ago, it is still listed here.

So there are some pictures for you.

Also as I’m new to TVR’s, my impression was nice car but not owned by someone who liked scaling and painting for example.
