i'm interested in possibly getting a tuscan for knocking about in.

i'd ideally like a yellow or orange one.

are these colours rarer than most on a tuscan?

would they command a premium over say, the more usual colours such as black, silver or crystal topaz?

Yes

Orange ones command a huge premium, everybody want's one and people will pay over double the normal rate for such stuning cars..... thumbup



In truth, there are just as many people who want a traditional blue, black, silver type colours, as there are who want a loud shouty colour. Just find one which is mechanically sound, tidy, and makes your heart melt when you first set eyes on it.

the only reason i ask is because these colours seem rare in any classifieds sections i look at.

i realise 'attract a premium' was overstating my point, but do these colours attract more attention on the second hand market?

i deliberately shied away from the usual 'loud' lambo colours when i specced my G spdyer, but tuscan's lend themselves to it IMHO.

were yellows/oranges not popular colours from new? i would have expected them to be a popular choice because TVR owners are hardly shrinking violets!

(and thats from a lambo owner! biggrin)

I think most people tend to stick with the basic blues/blacks etc. Orange Tuscans do look stunning but is a matter of personal opinion. I don't think there's a great deal in price difference, the only thing I think is you may not sell on a loud colour like the orange as quickly as you would a black one for example. I saw a chamelion orange Tuscan the other day and it looked mighty fine. All IMO though.

In real terms, there were not that many Tuscans done in Yellow and Orange, I know of one Mk 1 Tuscan S in Yellow, and one Tuscan 2S in the same Orange as mine. Mine is the only convertible ever made in the Lambo Arancio Atlas orange.

Certainly works for me thumbup

I've only seen one yellow Tuscan (black interior / wheels). Orange seems to suit the car well imo - it was the colour of the original press car (burnt orange ?).
