Chameleon Green would be an excellent colour for your project, if you look up "flying" on here under members it shows the front of his T350 when it is looking more green. Also in the classifieds there is a Sag that Str8Six sold in the same colour.

The Tuscan is Halcyon Atlantis Blue. Our T350 is the same colour and I adore it. It's stunning when wet or when the sun hits it. I'd go for that colour if you're looking at blues.. It and reflex charcoal (a black/red/green flip jobbie) are my favourite TVR colours. smile

I do Like Halcyon Atlantis, but that is just a straight blue isn't it? The Tuscan I saw flipped to green. The camera just doesn't show it.
I'm not 100% what the colour is called so I'd appreciate help to nail the name or paint code.

Did consider a yellow, looks great, but it's not for me.
Reflex charcoal too dark, swordfish colour doesn't go with my blue interior.

No No No!!! Stick a proper Tamora front, and, back on like it should have, it's a pedigree not a mongrel.

The second Sagora conversion was built from a completely undamaged , not even a stonechip , Tamora . The panels I took off the Tamora went to repair a heavily damaged Tamora that needed the chassis repairing round the padal box area and the spine .It needed a front from the drivers door to the passenger wheelarch and a backend from wheelarch to wheelarch. As with many seriously damaged cars that I have repaired there is no record of the repair . There are many people on this forum who would probably give more credence to the standard looking car .

Perhaps we should have a chat about the spare Sag bonnet (pair) I have in my barn, and my plans for the Tamora.... wink

99% sure that Tuscan is Halcyon Atlantis, it changes between blue and green light/water dependant. Amazing colour! Cheaper than many of the reflexes too, but just as changeable. In good sunlight, it absolutely comes alive. Google the colour or I'll post up pics when I'm home. (currently on iPhone.)

There are indeed David, but thats life.

Having seen some of your work, there is certainly no doubting the quality of the the workmanship.

I've always liked the Nebular Blue T350 (or black) looks amazing in the flesh.

ah, found the thread I was looking for...

My Griff is Halcyon Atlantis and while it has blue and green in it it's not an obvious 'in your face' flip colour as it's more subtle and reacts to different lighting.

Mine gets a lot of compliments

Chameleon Green or Chameleon Blue (that's the Swordfish colour BTW). If you look at it in the sunlight, it's green...

Wouldn't say it doesn't go with a blue interior though...

This colour is amazing when the sun hits it and personally would be my choice. PHer Trevorj has a 350t in it and it's stunning. I really wasn't a fan of the looks of the Orange Tam/Sag fusion but your project really does look quite exciting. I like the T350 back end fused with the longer Tam boot, coupled with the full convertible from the Tam it should look a million dollars once done.

Quick question for Plasticman - did you get chance to look any more into those shark fins?

A little bit more photoshop madness tonight!Maybe I can get a gig at autocar magazine!

What we should have one day:



and my new brake light set up. These turned up today from SVC along with the Bi-Halogen dip/main and Halogen Main beams and the rest of the LED rear lamps.
And I've done a funky Gif of the two stage LED lamps:



The rear lamps I think will be laid out like this:

That looks like chameleon green or reflex green, probably the former...very nice! Another option is spectra FX emerald/blue made by Alsa Corp...see below.

Hi Chris, how's the project going? Any more pictures of the car?

Quick question, where did you find it? Was it a private sale? I'm looking for a tuscan to bring back from the grave, either as a Tuscan with all my favourite parts from both versions or as a Sagaris conversion.

The ones I've found from TVR Glen/Dean have been repaired and I've been warned off there repair jobs by someone we both know!
