Looking through the paint codes maybe:

R2733 Blue Pearl (2002 PJ38B Toyota 8J2)

It should have the paint code in your handbook.
As for the colour, it is difficult to tell but looks to me a bit like Starmist Blue.

Your paint code is the body code on the chassis no. plate in your engine bay.

thanks for the help guys.

It turns out the paint is called 'Dupont' the same paint as Aston Martin which is a surprise, did TVR use Aston Martin paint? would this be possible?

, TVR used a lot of different manufacturers paints.

we did not use dupont very often, maybe one or 2, body code would still help.
