A friend has told me that he had seen a orange/copper coloured Tuscan. I have never seen one and I'm having great difficulty in trying to imaging a Tuscan in this colour. Can anyone post a photo of one? I know that orange suits a sag and I have seen photos on the web but never a Tuscan.

Now I said that I bet there's hundreds of Tuscans in a orange/ copper colour out there.

Cheers.

I know of three Mk 1 Tuscans in Copper cascade if that's the colour you mean, also there was a burnt orange one for sale down south earlier in the year, wasn't on sale for long.

This is amazing - I want it (hopefully when I buy in a few weeks, this will magically appear in the classifieds with a warrantied engine rebuild and in my price range)...

When I was looking for a new Tuscan in 1999 my wife located two convertibles.
The one I bought being a 2006 in saphire blue and the second was in this vivid orange, a 2005 model and was going for only 24k punds.

From my understanding, there were only 2 Tuscan Convertibles supplied by the factory in orange, one was the Chameleon Orange (as above) and the other is mine which is the Lambo Arancio Atlas Pearl.
Saying that, there were quite a few of the Targa Tuscans done in both Chameleon and Arancio and they look mint.

Recently I've been reconsidering the decision I made in going for the dark blue Tuscan.
I made the choice only on the age and mileage. The price was the same.
My dark blue Tuscan realy shows all the swirl marks. I've had them polished out but it seems that within a week they are back. (bloody swirl fairy's come out at night).
When I've had a 'more interesting' colour, I never used to see swirl marks.
I had a purple paradise tuscan which looked amazing when just washed, which I'm sure your orange Tuscan must also look.
Cant afford a respray at the moment but thinking of something a bit brighter when the time comes. Not sure what will suit the interior though ?

The orange doesn't show up the swirl marks too much but after 47k miles, it still looks fantastic when it's buffed. If you're looking for a colour change, Geoff Yates' convertible looks fantastic in Spectraflair Silver, or a nice pale blue (Ferrari do a very nice one) would look class and compliment the blue hood?

Yes, I think I've seen photo's of the Spectraflair Silver convertible. Does look very good.
Oh pale blue........I'm still hurting from Manchester City frown Think I need to wait a few more weeks before I can get my head around liking pale blue.
Thanks,
Tony.

When I was looking online at the Chameleon Orange one for sale last year, I was undecided on the colour, (having not seen it in the flesh at that point), however, upon seeing it and then test driving it, I was sold instantly.

Had to drive round the M25 this morning through a heavy, heavy downpour, and was suprised to find that the car was still orange by the time I got home, and that it hadn't reverted back to the original pre-paint body shell colour
