If you were speccing the exterior and interior colours of a Chimaera or a Griffith today, what colours would you choose? Given that the solid colours of the late 90s are now looking a bit dated.

Not so sure, chameleon and flips look a little dated to me now. A bit nineties/noughties? I think bright, vibrant solid colours are more 'in' at the moment. On modern cars at least, a lot of yellow, orange and bright green about - even baby blue and pink! At least white cars are out - thank heavens.

Funny you should ask that as I'm looking to buy a Tuscan with a view to respraying & re-upholstering to my own taste and have (I think) finally decided.

If I was ordering a new TVR it would be Spectra FX Emerald/Blue bodywork, with interior similar to the below but with a blue carpet rather than black (yeah I know it's a T350 interior so the Tuscan would look a little bit different but I think it would still work well)

That's the plan for the Tuscan when I get it anyway smile I'd go the same route for a Chimaera too

Although I've seen a couple with the emerald/blue bodywork I don't think either have gone for black/blue interior so hopefully it'll be a unique combination (beige also looks good but I prefer the black and think it would hide the dirt/cracks better over time)

Red with a light interior, which is what I have...
