1984 Tasmin 2+2 350i A700MWL

[schimg]

So bought myself a 2+2 350i in white off ebay the other week...came with no history....previous owner has mislaid the inch thick history file outling the chasis work etc etc...so I am trying to get my head around a few things...this may be a longish thread!

First thing is which white's did they use at that period...and yes I know that you could poss have any shade you wanted...although not sure that was the case at this time...where they Ford shades...here is a piccie...although it will be little help..




Thanks in advance Steve.G.

Actually you cant call yourself a TVR owner until you have at least four of them and lots of bits

Give me time I am working on it

Maybe its something like Ford Glacier White?

[Adrian@]

Not that it will make any difference....the TVR white is just that, base white with no tinters....WHITE...BUT, given that the white has faded/degraded you will need to get the car colour matched.

Mine is so called this but when trying to get a touch up stick / aerosol for it from my local Ford Stealer.............it colour wasn't listed

Suggest get it card matched.

In the case of the wedges built during that period, the factory simply called the color "White". There were also references to "Alpine White" which is what is on my 1987 280i, and there was a "Pearl White", but predominantly the color was simply listed as "White".

Oh yeah, silly me!


I think Ford Glacier white is a colour that hasnt been used for a long time and I only thought of the colour because its the same white that my cousin used on his Mk2 Escort years ago...a glorious colour too
