Colour again!

[TVRIK]

I've trolled through a few historical forum pages and found loads of paint codes but can't seem to match mine?
P422-0673 from what I can see metalic Bordeaux looks about right,
But I'm not 100%

Can anyone help guys?

Nice one Ralph, I'm in discussion with a guy on eBay,
I've sent him that code, but I do t think he is sure.
Think ill try something more local.

Ah good, he is saying he has TVR colours, mica and Bordeaux
Do you know if our colour has a name like one if the above?

Let me check my hand book Rik as am sure the delivery note has the colour on it, back in a mo

My owners record said Claret metallic, so I would say Bordeaux mate

Brilliant! Cheers Ralph that's great.

Just wanna get it looking a little better, it's gonna need pro work, but just trying to get enthused to continue!

Thanks again mate.

It's an old ICI paint code, P422 being the series. Rare to find anyone these days that can cross-reference it to a modern equivalent - and that's if the car still wears its original colour.
Best bet is to find a competent independant bodyshop and match it using colour chips... mine turned out to be a Lancia colour.
