Are there variants on the colour, as these two cars seem to be quite different...


Looks more yellowish, while...


Looks more cream.

I suppose it could be lighting consition or fading, but these two cars are a similar age, so that's not likely.

If they look the same to everyone else my apologies, I am 85% colourblind after all

I recently called up one of the leather restorer companies and when I mentioned that I had a Cerbera with magnolia leather I was told that TVR have had a lot of "discussions" with the various leather manufacturers and all magnolia leather is not equal. It depends on which supplier TVR had paid that month as to which colour magnolia each car had.

I personally know of three different magnolias in cars of a similar age, one whihc is very soft and creamy, one which is harder but closer to magnolia and one which is harder but more orange. All these cars are magnolia leather interiors.

It's the yellowy magnolia that often put me off, I'd always assumed it way sun-fading but now it all appears to be the material/dead cow involved.

Now I'm really confused.

In the last few days I've seen standard 17" racelines advertised as 18", colours changed from Black to really-really-really dark Blue and now magnolia to cram - I don't think I can cope

Perhaps a drink will make me feel better.

Coming from the "S" world surely you should be used to this

The S world was simple, we had the 1, 2, 3, 4 and V8. Then the 1.5 and 2.5 if your car was a Friday one

Do TVR use different part numbers for the Magnolia ?

In the "owners records" page of the owners handbook mine says "trim colour magnolia, TVR code T412"

Anyone got a different code for Magnolia ?

Mine looks like the yellowy photo by the way

Are you sure they were 17's, there are some 18's out there.

It's all so confusing - posted the pictures and everyone says 17", but the owner says 18"...

Ah, Tripps, you will see colours in a fresh light. Now, exactly what green is that on your TVR? Lincoln? Bottle? Irish? Moss? Froggy? Enjoy your walk.
Mine's a "nice" green I can remember that
