I'm looking for a collection of as many photos of blues and purples as possible. Specifically two tone types and anything unusual! I have decided to take the plunge and go from my 111r Elise to the beautiful Sagaris. I'm hoping people can post some of their own pics here, including blue/purple interiors. I've trawled the net and saved every picture I could find so far. Unfortunately with my Elise I regretted my colour decision and I don't want to make that mistake twice. I'm from Ireland and there is no Tvr dealership here. So I have to thoroughly research everything I can possibly find online before taking the big step.

Any resources you have would be appreciated too as I can only find small spec sheets. No totally full options lists down to the colour of the pedals. And that's what I want I remember sleepy fish used to have a huge colour list but that seems to be down, is there anywhere with a colour configurator online at all? Also I'm wondering now the lhd sagaris had the non buldge roof is that option available to rhd saggys? Also a huge thing for me is the side exhausts. I know there's been talk about having them changed over the past year but is there any date nearing for that, I would kick myself silly if I missed out on those. And lastly how long is the current waiting list? Thanks so much for any help you can provide!

i think you will really like Rolex blue and Halcyon Space Blue. Rolex Blue is a gorgeous dark shade of purple with shades of blue in it and Halcyon space Blue is similar but i think it is more pearlescent in certain light, i don't have any pics of these colours to hand but if you look through the classifieds you might find one or you could look through the members fleet on here to find someone who owns a tiv in your preferred colour.
if you go on to the TVR centres website and fill in the contact form they'll send you a spec card through the post with colour/options prices on it but i'm not sure if they post to northern Ireland.
hope this helps and good luck anyway!

Sorry cocked that last post up! It's got to be Rolex Blue pearlescent. I liked it so much I had my Mosler painted in it. See the following link for a few pics. I haven't worked out how to put pics on here yet and I have better / higher res so if you want them email me and I'll send them that way. It looks great on the Sagaris - that's where I saw it first.

It does look great in Rolex blue. Gatwick TVR's demo Sagaris was tvr racing purple which was a dramatic, electric colour to say the least and is a slightly wilder alternative to the Rolex blue. They'd be happy to send you some pictures of it if you asked nicely. I'm sure they'd be even happier to send you the real thing shortly afterwards too! Thiers had full black leather with purple stitching and was gorgeous. First Sagaris I ever drove too. Fortunately not the last.

A friend of mine bought a Caterham JPE which was painted a particularly stunning shade of blue. Being of a similar blue/purple bent to yourself I asked him what it was and it was a one off job called 'glasurit exquisite blue' given TVR will paint any colour you like I was seriously tempted to cover my Sagaris in the stuff. In the end I bottled it and went for a colour I'd seen a Sagaris in. Every time I see his caterham I regret it. It's quite a dark blue but would be all over a Sagaris. That's my top tip to check out.

Forget blues, I'm still waiting for someone to get a saggy in this

Would look fantastic IMHO

If it has to be blue I still love Imperial Blue which looks purple in the light

Which one? This one is called 'dark fantasy', and it's a Rover colour (according to Gerbil)



Right, will stop hijacking the blue thread now

Funky dont worry about the exhausts or the bulge. If they only give you rear exit cans and wont get rid of the bulge for you, give me a bell post delivery and we will soon rectify the problem

Sorry bout the delay in replying but ive been away!

forthright MC & rolex ~ The rolex blue is to die for, but as the weather here s so dark and miserable so often i think ive decided tog o with a more nright and bold color! Rather then hoping for the sun to shine to really show off the best of the color potential! Its gorgeous though

Stevend ~ Great resource thanks, now im even more confused

Willo M900 ~ thats an amazing color on your car, really makes it look aggresive and mean, id be running away thats for sure

DJC ~ Oh what do you mean? Could you do the exhaust if it was changed?

lukesr ~ I didnt get to see the color as the link isnt working atm!

Willo im even more indecisive then i was Ive got some color questions. Mostly whats what, and whos who ! My favorites right now are the green/blue color and the red/orange as i want a bold/bright color to show of the sags lines! :


I really love the Tvr 3rd from the right (blue/reen), what color is it? Also the one closest to the right, the blueish one?




Also what color would the following be:




Are the two closest to the right the same color?




I love the red/orange in this picture, but all the other red/orange sags ive seen dont have the chameleon effect like this photo shows, does it show like this or is it a camera trick?




Just looking for these two colors too




And last but not least which color is this? Phew :P

'are the two closest from the right the same colour'.

No, mine is far right = Reflex Green and the other was I think Chameleon Green.

Funky, there is a TVR dealer in Northern Ireland - Parkgate Garages here in Belfast. They have the colour swatches for paint, leather & carpets.

I bought my Sag there (Reflex Charcoal )

Will email you my full collection of pics that some of the kind folks on here sent me and that I picked up here and there when hunting down the 'perfect' spec for mine.

There is an active following of TVR both in the North & South of Ireland and we have regular get togethers. Details of Colin (N.I) and Jerry & Jackie's (ROI) are in Sprint (TVR Car Club mag) or email me.

I find the Sag deals well with most of the roads up here, but on some of the southern roads you really do have to go quite slow to stop it bottoming out front and back.

Car is awesome though - you will just love it.

Good luck - look forward to seeing it!,
Gary.
