Mmmmmmmmmm,
Not an orange one in sight, may have to get some flashy paint when I get round to painting mine.
Interesting stats.

My S1 is metallic brown from the factory, haven't seen another yet, going to have it resprayed in BMW Marakesh brown, with a light tan hood, I'm going for a retro look

Mike, how about " G** ALD Orange S from Devon in Sprint",
Longers post earlier in the week?

If I were repainting mine, I'd go with purple, for me it's THE TVR colour.

Not quite purple but I've always loved this colour, Ford Aubergine.





"Bottled it" and played safe when I had the S resprayed, just went from a base BRG to a metallic.... but there's always the Taimar scratchchin

What a great analysis. I wonder if the percentage split of colours changes across the different versions from S1 to S4 as colour tastes changed as time past?

There's at least 3 including mine which are a Ford colour called 'black Cherry' which is similar to the capri photo - IMHO one of the nicest colours

The worst colour I remember seeing on an S was BEIGE!!!!!!!!! eek with a chocolate brown interior.

It was about 15 years ago, so I imagine it was built that way. yikes
