Since their are a lot of us Griff owners here, I am curious as to the colour combinations we all have. In some ways this relates to the respray question I just posted, but it is also a stand alone question.

So what combinations do we all have?

Mine are:

Body: Starmist Blue
Roof: Dark Blue
Carpets: Dark Blue
Leather: Dark Blue

yes thats right, the whole car is blue with blue on blue.

So what do you all have? Piccys would be great to see the body and interior colours. I will post some of mine when I get a moment, but my home web site is down.

But there is a pic on my profile to get started.

Here's mine:

Body: Highland Pearl
Roof: Black
Carpets: Black
Leather: Magnolia
Dash: Black leather
Wheels: Anthracite

So the only pale bit of the car is the magnolia. Makes finding the car in dark car parks jolly difficult!!

There's a pic in my profile if anyone wants to see it, and more at Webshots - if anyone's interested I'll post the URL.

Hi SGirl, the pic in your profile does not work, but I would love to see a pic. I think I may have seen your Griff at VW, I certainly saw a Griff with Anthracite wheels. Nice Griff if its the one I remember.

Nul problemo David - I've fixed the link. I'll sort the Webshots URL in a short while.

Edited to add: How did you get yours so shiny?

Carpets: Dark Blue
Leather: Dark Blue
Dash: 'Woven' alloy
Dials: yellow backlit

Nice, I have not seen backlit dials on a TVR before.

The outside looks nice, you don't have an interior shot do you, your interior sounds similar to mine, and I am curious to the colour combination with the alloy dash as I still have the walnut dash.

Not at the moment - leave it with me and I'll sort something out. It does look quite good, and I think it would look better with some Leven buttons.

'Nice, I have not seen backlit dials on a TVR before.'

Thought all Griffs/Chimps after about 1995 had these? Mine are white and backlit (not very evenly) - it's ike having several full moons staring at you!

Mine are all backlit, assuming you've pressed the button under the dash to the left of the steering column. Note that the speedo light is much dimmer

I like this combination a lot.
My Tuscan will have the same Pentland Green colour, and inside full leather in tan with tan carpets.
I'll post some pictures when the car will be delivered.
