Hi all

I am on the hunt for a V8V and am racking my brain on the colour. I've been looking at a 4.3 cars and went to see a meteorite silver car at Stratstone Derby a couple of weeks ago and on an overcast day the car looked great. However I've been looking at loads of pictures and the colour seems to change quite a bit in different light conditions. It can appear quite flat and blue looking on some pictures and then metallic with gold in it on other pictures.

I stumbled across these pictures though and thought the colour was stunning. Can anyone tell me what colour this is, is it meteorite silver?

Sorry, there is a car in the picture of the girl in the blue dress? biggrin

P.S Quantum silver is a good shout, if it's darker than Meteorite - difficult to be sure from photos. I don't think it's Ceramic grey but there is an old magpie around here somewhere who is an expert on that colour and it's sparkly lustre smile.

Definitely Meteorite. I have the same and I am not sure what the name of the paint is but there is a metallic silver fleck in the paintwork which gives a great effect in the sunlight...

The pictures seem to have gone (apart form the lady in blue). If she was with the car then I suspect it would have been sparkly and therefore Ceramic Grey. She looks like she likes sparkly things smile

Looks Quantum to me as it has a slight brown hue. I have pictures on my PC of my Quantum Silver and it looks very similar

I assumed they had parked it like that to ensure the young lady was in their photos without looking like a perv.

Quantum has a bronze effect to it, and a very fine flake metallic. Looks like an SP10 in Ceramic - wheels are painted black by the looks of it...?

Er, excuse me V12Piers! You don't really think you can post here without having first posted a picture of your V12V do you?
