Tuscan 'S' - colour choice
Discussion
Guys,
Just about to agree my new Tuscan 'S' spec with Castle TVR in Essex this Saturday (March delivery), am trading in my lovely pearl yellow Chimaera 4.5. Basically looking for some advice on the colour I choose, what with thousands of colours to go for..clearly this is a big decision!
Do I go for a dark 'mean' colour e.g. all black inside & out or for a Cascade/Chameleon colour...clearly the car will get a lot of attention but I am worried about how much attention from the little 'br*t' who decides that a key down the side will make my day...
Also the guys at castle said that if I wish to make the car unique then they will obtain samples of new colours that the guy at TVR is working on...the point with this is that it will be much cheaper as it will be a 'test' colour. This would only be a colour which they agree will work and will sell in future but I would only see a small test sample of it (so a risk).
What you guys reckon??

Well all done now. Agreed the spec today with Ian at Castle TVR in Essex, took 2 hours just to agree on the colour....but in the end 'Cascade Copper' won the day!
The interior will be all black leather with 'Burnt Orange' stitching throughout (including on the steering wheel), complemented with 'Burnt Orange' carpet piping around the black carpet.
The factory will do all alloy switch gear, ie I won't have the copper knobs and instrumentation which all Tuscans come with as standard. So this should look quite cool against a black interior.
To complement the black interior I am having the anthracite 18' alloys rather than silver + the front diffuser will be colour coded as body.
The rear exhausts will be upgraded to the new Titanium sports exhaust now available to Tuscans...sounds great!
Thats it! Hopefully just have to wait 6 weeks for delivery!
I will post pic's on here once I get to the factory or when delivered.........can't wait!!!!!!!

I've have 2 pics which show you what my car will look like in Cascade Copper! The problem is they are in jpg format and I don't have a website yet to put it on..can't seem to just save on this message. So I will be happy to email to anyone. The car shown is the only other Tuscan that was painted in this colour...also sold through Castle TVR. Try to imagine black wheels, sports exhaust, black leather interior, all ally dash & on a 'S' if you can :-)
First time I saw it was 'wow' and its not as extreme as thought it might be. I have arranged with Lisa for my tour of the factory and see my car for Friday 14th Feb...so can't wait now.
