What is the best Chimaera colour?

[Legend83]

A hot topic, guaranteed to get a debate - what colour rags does a Chim look best in? I personally enjoy Cherry Pearl....

[225]

Pearlescent Imperial Blue (faster too)

[shropshire lad]

225 is dead right. Not too common either.

[shropshire lad]

Imperial blue is not too common - not 225.

[forthright mc]

imperial or Starmist blue is the best, but there is something about the Chim that suits green better than most other tivs (bar the cerb)....

Starmist Blue with Magnolia and Blue interior on a 1999 4.5 Chim that lives in Manchester.

British Racing Green.

Classic, and fastest too!

Starmist Crimson! Fact! Pete wins!

Whoa. Nice wheels! I agree with all on the starmist blue - though it is more subtle and perhaps less stand-outy, a beautifully shined starmist blue is quality.

I am new to the forums and unfortunately don't own a TVR as I am too young (to insure, not drive!) and do not have a garage (no chance of me keeping on the street in Luton). I have driven a Tuscan (best day of my life) but I have always loved the Chimaera and WILL buy one soon. I can just imagine the sound of starting it up for the first time.

So hello to all!

ITS RED!!!

This has been discussed loads of times and the same conclusion is always achieved...red is best - cherry pearl red!!!

Like I said.....

Well said! no doubt in my mind!

Blue Magnetique is well known to be the colour of choice for the connoisseur. The pale silvery blue is both classy and among the cognoscenti, recognised as the fastest colour a Chim may wear

[Legend83]

Very nice.. Did you purchase your Chim with those wheels or are they an addition?

With all these differing opinions, what will I do when I finally take the plunge?

[the Surveyor]

Different colours for different moods......

Yellow if you want everybody to notice you, blue / green / red if you want to be one of the crowd, but when the sun comes out, a well polished grey starmist Chimaera looks the absolute mutts... and if you add some stripes there would just be no need to continue this thread. My car wins

Imperial blue looks great, I was originaly after one of them , but settled for Copper green which I grown to like.

[FunkyGibbon]

They look good in any colour*

The best colour I've seen though is pearlescent white - sounds odd but looked stunning in the flesh.

*serious answer - starmist silver of course

[eowen]

Cherry Pearl.
