Absolutely perfect, what a gem.

Gorgeous, gorgeous car. You lucky man, you.

I recall being near a TVR garage near Carshalton back in the early nineties (was it called Hillside?) and hearing an almighty noise, turning around and seeing a Storm Grey V8S howling up the road. The sales guys were probably just moving the display stock about and having a ball doing it. This was before the first Griffs hit the dealers and I was smitten with the big engined wedges at the time. I certainly took notice that day.

My wee Granny might just be for sale now if you were thinking of moving it along.
I'll get her on Gumtree, just in case.
Has been subject to a professional full nut and bolt resto and to say the car is mint is an understatement.
Considered selling a few times but each time i do, i fire it up and all thoughts fade away haha.
Am lucky to own such a nice car cloud9
Would be unkind of me to p/x your granny so maybe just let her go to the highest bidder biglaugh

Hmm, I would say, if it's not the colour it left the factory with (to satisfy those with originalityitis) then it doesn't matter if it's a TVR colour or not... i.e. if it's not original then it's not original... the world is then your oyster to choose a colour that YOU love and looks good on the car...

Just my personal opinion of course...

Last thing I'd want to do is start a bun fight with the 'it must be original' brigade... I mean it's not like you can have a sensible conversation with them is it... and most of them are hypocrites anyway... It's like hours of meaningless woffle about whether that bolt is an original bolt... like its got the wrong letters on the top of it or something.... or OMG you've used a spring washer....

Sorry, went a bit OT there.....





I mean who do they think they are anyway...

Dont think it matters?

Its your car and you can do with it whatever you want - you could paint each panel a different colour and it would have jack sh@t to do with anyone.......except VW who may have you for copying their great idea for the Polo biglaugh

My Cerb is HGP, congratulations that is the first time I have seen a photo or video that properly catches the gold fleck in HGP. What it doesn't show, but Chiilis stills do, is the almost black it can appear in some lights and angles.
Problem I have is mines never really clean enough to show it off....

My Chimaera in grey. Paint code doesn't appear in any of the published lists so not 100% sure which grey I have!

Possibly too light for Storm Grey... StarMist? Lotus Titanium?
