I saw one of these once and when i was looking to buy an R53 i wanted that colour. I searched the whole of Germany and couldnt find one so extended the search to Italy, Holland and Austria..Nope. I ended up buying a black one as apparently the numbers of these sold here was just about double digits.richb77 said:
I once worked with a guy that had one just like this as his daily driver. Brand new in about 2004/5. He used to spend most of his days screaming down the office on the phone to TVR about its numerous faults.

Not sure we can count that. Aren't most of the Mk2 RSs green? All the ones I can think of near me are all green and there is even a RS replica based on an ST that has been done in the green too.According to a quick look on the owners club somewhere between 35 and 40 % of the Mk2s were in Ultimate green which makes it the most popular colour.

Funny seeing a previous car you've owned pop up in a quote from a long time ago. I sold the Mini a couple of years back, moving to a grey M135i. I've had this Valencia Orange one for a while now (18 months) and whilst it isn't super rare is certainly different to the plethora of grey, white and black ones...

We’ve a 120d Xdrive in the same colour. It is awesome!![](https://thumbsnap.com/sc/q6OMMNmv.jpg)
No idea what the colour name is but there is an old couple live near me with a couple of unusual Bentleys.
The Wife’s one is this Continental. Looks lovely.

The husband has a (I think) Flying spur that is mostly black but cream from the door pillars up, think pint of Guinness lol. Not such a fan of that one. No pic as he keeps it in the garage.
