After waiting for what seems like an age, I finally got the roof trims from the factory.
You'd think this would be the difficult part - but no, of course it now onto the next issue.
I have given the body shop the only code I can find (in the boot) for the colour, who inform me it means nothing.
The code is 035....?

After speaking to a dealer, they attempted to get more information out of the factory. I now know its Lotus Aluminium
Silver, but still have no code. This is unavailable, so I'm told. The body shop still seem to be at a loss, so the question is does anyone have a Lotus Aluminium Silver Tuscan? and if so what the code?
If not any more ideas?

Hi, my 2001 Tuscan is I'm sure a Lotus Silver, can't remember the exact name but I'm sure the previous owner has scribbled in the colour and code in the handbook. Won't be home till the weekend, but will have a look & get back to you.

OK then, seems we might be in luck.

According to my handbook, mine is Aluminium Silver and the quoted TVR code is "P965 - HEY3B". The code also contains a greek type letter in between the main codes (ie where I've placed the dash above, not sure on my greek alphabet and couldn't find a similar symbol to use, but it's like an S rotated by 90degrees)???

Also, the previous owner has written the following info alongside the paint code which should help.

"Aka - Lotus Frost Silver. ICI colour, touch up from www.autopaint.co.uk (St Helens), 01744 818102, contact - Mark".

Hope the above is of some use, probably worth checking that all this matches before ordering gallons of the stuff (a disclaimer as well).

Good luck.

I was wondering about that... I've since got hold of the Lotus Colour codes and there is indeed a New Aluminium.
The Lotus code for this is B35, the code in my boot is TVR 035, I was wondering if there is any correlation between the two!

confused It seems like the more digging I do, the less I know spin

I would however be interested to know what your code is...

Thanks all...
