At last!! Thanks for doffing you're cap mate!! That's my colour!! Danielle was dying for someone to spec one up in that colour and I thought it looked superb. Was the one you saw a Tamora in that colour or a Tuscan, because I was told no-one had specced a Tamora in Titanium pearl until I did????




When I was at the factory last month Danielle was raving about a Tuscan which had just been sprayed in that colour - was it that car that made your mind up Flasher?

Flasher - the part I saw in Titanium was a Tamora bonnet - on the rack behind the spay booths. Possibly yours then? I have to confess that I recently saw a 360 Modena in that colour too - very rare for a Ferrari. But WOW! Your car sounds nice, congratulations for not going for Yawn Silver

Didn't know the guys at the factory were moonlighting by nuetering cats?

Well, at first I had made my mind up for Viper GTS blue. But a combination of wanting to be different and finding Titanium pearl to be awesome, swung it!!
I still like the GTS blue a lot, but when I was there five of the cars (and these were out of the first 10) were GTS blue. I figured if so many dealers were going for that colour then a lot of people would spec theirs the same.

Plus Danielle really wanted someone to go for it and I couldn't resist. She is lovely isn't she??
Hope that was my bonnet, but I fear someone who ordered one before me has changed their spec and nicked my bloody colour!!!

SAD NEWS!! My Chimaera, light of my life, is leaving me today. HHC are taking it in p/ex for my Tamora - and they're collecting it today! I've never really got attached to cars, but this will be a wrench - my first true sports car, the car I got to replace my wife, the car I gave myself on my 40th. birthday. All these things all wrapped up, all those hot summer days, cold frosty nights driving with the roof down under the stars, being able to hear and smell the scenery I'm driving through - all that stuff, and so much more besides. I hope the factory are girding their loins for a lot of hassle from me - I need my Tamora!!!

Nubbin, bad news! How come you're letting the Chimaera go so soon? Can't be 'cos HHC are offering you a good price can it? That would be very un-dealer like!
I'll be trying to sell mine privately before the dealer gets it!
Cheers....... Andrew

Amazingly, they have offered me the price I advertised it for! i hope they won't try to knock the price down after they get it back to the dealership. I'm letting it go, because the tax has run out, it's winter, so it's not getting used, I don't want to put any more miles on it, and I can clear the finance, so I'm not paying money for a car I'm not using. Still, Ive got used to the old girl sitting in my garage, and it won't be the same.

Trouble is, I'm having second thoughts about the colour I've specced for my Tamora. Halcyon Atlantis? Is it too mainstream for a TVR? Should I go for a more exotic colour - I originally thought of Ferrari grigio alloy, which is a pale blue pearlescent, but now Piunto's and Alfa's seem to have it so that's no good. Anyone got any pictures of unusual colours, NOT blue/green/red/yellow?

Flasher - I'm not stealing your colour, but have you got any piccies of this titanium pearl? I need some ideas to work on - I may have seen a Tuscan at the factory in a similar colour - certainly Danielle was banging on about a colour, but it didn't register with me at the time. All help appreciated!!

Nubbin - What about Dark(ish) Purple, with lighter purple interior ?

Then once you are finished with the car my missus will let me buy it from you.

Or failing that, the best colour IMHO on Any car is Ocean Haze, though if it would suit a Tamora I know not

By the way, am I the only person disappointed that the car is not named after some sort of beast of the underworld ?

Beast of the underworld? Yes but what is in a name?

Flasher I thought you colour was a secret? Sometimes excitement is just too much to contain

Most of the b****S guessed it Jamer.
Not that bothered now, I just wish I had the bloody thing. I'm useless at being patient!!
Nice that no-one seems to have the same colour yet though.
