WOW!!! What's this colour?

[Hotwheels.]

Tuscan, bottom right of pic. Does anyone know the colour and possibly have any more pics of it please? I found the pic doing a search on 'photobucket', and looks like it was on a hoon along with phers 'flyboy' and 'j_s_g' at some time. I actually creamed myself when i saw it, any help is greatly appreciated. Now, where's those tissues...

Nimbus blue I think.

I believe its Nebula Blue. Racing Green have/had one in stock recently.

I don't know the colour, but I think that is the view point on the coast road from Applecross to Sheildaig just past the Navy Base looking out to Rona and the Lighthouse!

Good roads

Wow - I have found the colour for my rebuild project

[burriana]

mauve ... or a dodgy filter on the camera

It belongs to Dan Buckle and is deep purple in real life. PC monitors can't reproduce the colour very well so it ends up looking bluer than it really is

Hi Dan are you in the TVRCC? Your colour isn't on the colours page on the TVRCC site so
if you mail Ralph the TVRCC PR a good picture along with it's name (and code if you know it)
he'll add your car to the gallery.
