Black does look great, but there will be 2 in black,Grants and another one steve is currently working on. Steve has not advised me against metallic, any reason why ?, I was tempted by Imperial Blue Metallic

I've seen a dark midnight blue one (racing) that looked fantastic and would look even better without the stickers. I probably have some pic's at home somewhere if you are interested? I also think that silver would look good, however I would tend to go for a darker colour as I guess the shutlines along the doors and bonnet won't be to hot!

Graham thanks for your comments,I've seen pic's of the blue one,silver seems to make the car look too long and low.

I was going to go for moonraker black with a white longitudinal stripe (if you read EVO look at the supoercars in italy issue last year - viper in this scheme) Or dark blue as per old racing aston martins, I thought porshce midnight blue would do it. The trouble with lighter colours is that the shut lines stand out ALOT! But then someone bought all the cars, so I'm getting a blackbird caterham, and can't decide what colour to paint that...

As a fan of dark blue metallic cars. 2 griffs, VR6 corrado & a VR6 Golf in the last 4 years. Go for a blue one and paste the pics when finished. My current Griff is ocean blue metallic (porsche colour) and would I think also ook stunning on a tuscan. Dark blue with a tiny hint of green, similar to the old tvr colour starfire mica blue.

I've ordered mine in a Dark Gunmetal grey with a Lighter reflex effect in light grey, should look F.A.B !!

Hughesie - think you've got the wrong topic here - I guess you are talking about a Tuscan Speed 6 not the V8 racing jobs as referred to in this topic! Congrats on the order though, as you say should look stunning!

Does anybody think TVR would be willing to let another company build a roadgoing Tuscan under license since they don't seem to be willing to invest in it? I think it would be great fun to start such a company. Especially in the US!
