What's the colour? Looks exactly like mine, which I thought was an Aston Martin colour of Cotswold Blue. Turns out that's a metallic grey.

Blue. That’s as much as I can remember. (I only had the car for 17 years )

I can do one better...Blue Pearlescent R2846 according to the book.

Regarding the wheels, everyone's welcome to their opinion! Personally, I thought the Estoril alloys looked a bit dated and I'd have much preferred the Imolas.

For now, they'll remain in the attic...here's a picture of them before they got banished there!

[Tyre Smoke]

Much better!

The car had Imolas on it all its life. The guy who bought it before you had black (!) Estorils put on it.

All my Chimaeras had Imolas.

Did I have a problem?

[2 sMoKiN bArReLs]

The problem influenced the greetings cards I used to receive

[Tyre Smoke]

Your biggest problem seems to have been leaving the front indicators orange.

They were all pretty much as they left the factory. A couple had fancy steering wheels & one had the loudest exhaust you ever did hear.

Can't say the colour of the indicators ever crossed my mind

Did I get this one right?

[Tyre Smoke]

Almost. It's a Tuscan.

Yes it's lovely.

The indicators might be to your choice....

It was by a country mile the worst car I ever had. Even this was better



...and it was awful! (I could see the road wheel through the hole in the floor below the pedals. If it rained I used to drive to work with a bag on my foot to stop my shoes going white. If I selected reverse the gear stick came out. It had no heater & I had to remove the starter motor every week to make it work.)

But it was still better than the Tuscan

2 sMoKiN bArReLs - I’m curious about the number of TVRs you have owned. Did you work for TVR at all or just an enthusiast?

I was just a bit mad

Loved 'em

R2846 was indeed Pearl Blue, which was a genuine TVR colour and not taken from another manufacturer.
