I was wanting to sort out some touch up paint, but not quite sure what colour my car is. I didn't get the order sheet with the history so all I know is that it is silver! In addition I'm color blind so not very good with colours.

Does anybody have any idea of the shade or how to find out? Is it titan, stardust, polar or ?

Is there a way of finding out from the chassis number?

Any ideas?

Many Thanks

It's on the chassis plate. There's a thread on here about it

Thanks V8

I've found the thread, and checked the VIN plate, which says the body code is TVR 034

On the paint code wiki TVR 0034 is Formula Redconfused

It's strange as I have history going back to 2003 showing it as silver (it's a 2000 car).

DVLA and HPI also show the car as Silver

There is a silver which is code TVR 0004, maybe it's my eyesight.

There is a story that goes with the car, which says the first owners wife poured whiskey on the bonnet and set light to it, which I think was in 2002/2003. It could be that it was built as red and resprayed silver after the fire?

Does anybody know if there is a way to check back in the build records?

Thanks
