Photoshop reflex charcoal. I'm liking this.

Stick to Darth Vadar black colour. And wear a Darth Vadar helmet for traffic light starts!!

This is kind of the opposite !

That is a nice colour....there are just so many colours out there, perhaps going for "one" of the "original" colours the SP12 appeared in allows scope for marketing..getting it stickered as per race car...then it would relate to track stuff...just a thought ...purple paradise is a nice colour...

Still all this is unfair on Graham so hard to choose ...that said as long as the car is together and not sat out of sight in a private collection I don't care (that much what colour it is, as long as it is a good colour )it could be even be Suzuki Candy Yellow ...I wouldn't care

Steve, the 'FORCE' does care. Universe 4th Dimension black it is !!!

What colour is this please?

I think it could be cascade violet, but not 100% sure.

Looking at this thread: http://www.pistonheads.com/gassing/topic.asp?h=0&a... (pictures right above mine), it does look pretty much like the reflex spice (with the lights off)

Speed 12 in that colour looks incredible.

Had my Ultima GTR colour changed to Reflex Charcoal a few years back by S&D, the colour completely changed the visual characteristics of the GTR's body to see it in the flesh was breathtaking.

If I had a Speed 12 would be in that colour no question, being a truly special car in a truly special colour...

I remember that well at the motorshow, couple of photo's I took below.

I also loved the deep purple the car raced in for a while, that looked stunning!

Still the reflex charcoal for me. Just my 2p...

It's a big over the top, in your face TVR. It got to be a bright colour... Perhaps reflex, luminous yellow

[verminator]

The TVR speed twelve, simply the most awesome car ever made. If you read the Stigs book (Ben Collins)he said the car at the top of his list in his dream garage would be the TVR speed twelve. 'It is the most frightning, and exhilarating car i have ever driven'. Hope you managed to wipe the slobber off your car when it was at Goodwood, sorry couldnt help myself.

Cascade Violet me thinks that is.
Cascade Indigo would also suit very very well - combinations of Gold, Indigo Blue, Purple - stunning

[aerospoke]

"Eversheds" written on a TVR! Oh the irony!

[G1ABB]

some pictures for you... (including a few random ones)







Following was taken last week... please note a combination of black and purple bodywork.

What a garage full of toys..we like purple ...purple is good

How about the SP12 engine...any closer?

(I understand you have a thread on facebook, but I don't have an account..)
