Welcome to the mad house. Nice to see something different and I think the wheels suit it. Reminds me of tvr colour ways I used to see.

Loving it. The kind of colour I'm sure many yearn for but few have the nerve. Good on you, I think it's gorgeous.

Welcome.

Great colour... its one of the colour that made the short list but my sensible side took over... and I bet it looks great in the flesh... Get Paddy to detail it for you and you will have a stunner!!!!

Chuffin marvellous!! I saw a V8V at Leeds AM bout two years ago in this colour (thought it was called Sunflower Yellow) and it is "in your face", a real statement, and looks superb!!

[CatalystV12V]

Welcome Dave.... Car looks superb!!!

[Neil1300R]

Loving that! Wouldn't own it myself - but doesn't stop me liking it.

At least it wasn't Green!

Welcome to the club, colour looks great. If someone does not like it, who cares, as it is what you like that counts.

Get yourself out on a meet sometime.

[AdamV8V]

Welcome good sir.

Great looking car and I think the wheels are antracite, right? If so, great combo.

Think about maybe chatting to burntout about de-chroming and changing / wrapping the side strakes. I think it would like great if it was all yellow / and grey / black. Just IMO of course.

Hope to meet you soon.

Adam (miserable silver one).

I will do my best to join you all at a forthcoming event.

Please do, I'm betting this is one of those colours that photos just don't do justice, so would be great to see it in the metal!

Welcome Especially to another North Eastener, so few and far between on this forum!

Which part of the NE am I likely to see your car driving about? I wonder if it will blend into the traffic easily....... Lol

[marcelg]

Love the colour!!!
I had a lotus Elise 111r in a similar colour - everyone can see you coming

[t1blk]

Congratulations, brave and excellent purchase

[Speedraser]

Love the color. Many congratulations!

[v8woollie]

Congratulations. That is a standout colour and amidst the many shades of grey it is a refreshing sight.

[krisdelta]

Welcome Dave, fantastic looking car! I am sure the rain will stop soon so you can enjoy it!

Cheers

If everyone loves the colour, but most people on here have silver, grey or black, does it mean that people buy a colour they don't like, presumably because of the second hand market being driven by people buying colours they also don't like because they in turn will want to sell the car on at some point to someone also buying a colour they don't like....?

Great colour btw!

[CIE560]

I absolutely love that, great choice

[michael gould]

Certainly makes a change from boring black or silver and everything in between......welcome to the club

Thats right, we have dozens of people on here that came from TVRs which were in every wild colour we could find, but now we've convinced ourselves that we all like shades of grey, or black for people that couldn't decide.

Dealers buy in grey everytime, and advise us against anything else, then sell their stock at a discount, so if you want e.g. yellow, its a special order and less discount.

Its all a bit frustrating if you want a loud colour

Sadly the range of colour on the second hand market was rather limited. I would have happily gone for a green or yellow had one been available with the right spec. I didn't want a dark blue / black though - hiding dirt is a priority
