There is this one available, but it looks like its solid yellow rather than pearl yellow.

To be fair it looks great in most colours, but I've got a soft spot for yellow cars.

Yeah there a loads of them about. Very popular.

If you are seriously interested in ownership then make your way to the Elise Cup Owners Group on Facebook.
Good cars come up for sale on there every now and again.

That’s comically vulgar.

Wonder who commissioned that...cosmetics tycoon?

Saw this advertised for sale yesterday........Erin Dawes, to whom I am related by marriage, says "NO!!!"

Well I think Erin is wrong this time - that TVR is just stunning!

So I suppose you just need to choose between wife and car - enjoy that TVR!

Love this thing. The colour is bloody brilliant.

No, it was on Facebook, and like everything on Facebook, you can never find it again when you want to

Sadly it seems the average buyer in the UK just wants a non-descript colour on their car. My other half being one of them! I like some of the deep metallics that seem to be a little more popular now like the deep reds and blues, even that dark orange Renault do I think is nice.

Ironically my daily car is silver as there doesn't seem to be many S Class owners who buy these new and spec a colour that's a bit different. The odd dark blue or burgundy model comes up infrequently.

Sadly if you drive a bright coloured car day to day, there's always that fear whether it's a hatch or high end saloon that it will stand out enough to attract the wrong kind of attention.

I already have a Chimaera, with her blessing, its just i have always hankered after a Tuscan, and that colour floats my boat.
We simply cannot afford two fun cars, and the Chimaera (450 turbo) suits my driving style on the road and the track.
Erin Dawes is a keeper.

Preferred the T Roc, much nicer metallic over the straight Q3; both bright though!

Ravenna Blue next......

Thanks to CV19 my June car got pushed to September - I will make do with 'Smokey grey metallic' til the Ravenna blue one gets here!

Even the official paperwork just says Black




New Taycan colours are great but the newly released Panamera colour is my current favourite:



Papaya!

McLaren are particularly fond of that colour, in a number of shades

Had this 1977 Simca Rallye 2 for 25 years. Bright and noisy. Rear engined, twin side draughts, short straight through exhaust.

From a previous post, "People used to drive interestingly coloured cars, what happened" I think that should be changed "People used to drive visually interesting cars, what happened".

I've been using my Westfield a fair bit over the summer for the 23 mile commute along the A27/M27. What other interesting cars do I see on the way? Umm, not that many.

I think I've seen one Caterham, a Stag that lives near work, the odd classic Mini, that's it. Everything quick seems to be a pumped up Audi/BMW/Merc in the colours of OPs original photo.

The Westfield is Burgundy btw,
