that purple colour paint I was always on about

[shnozz]

someone on another thread kindly scanned it in from sprint. this colour looks totally stunning and was the one I was trying to explain to Wildfire a while back

[WildfireS3]

Yep, I have to agree, it is a very cool colour.

[BERGS2]

That is a very, very nice colour..

[shnozz]

somehow its a modern colour that still works on the S's classic shape.

[FAT MATT]

Lovely colour. agree that it works with the classic shape of the S to make it look alot more modern.

Looks like a "light" black to me mate, but I am 85% colour blind

However is does look good though

I recognise that colour as I had the same on a 95 Griff500. TVR call it Metallic Blackberry.

It is in fact a PPG standard colour as used on special edition VW's. Eg the Mk4 Golf VR6.
I liked it on the Griff with Magnolia interior, it looked radiant in the sun, however on a dull day it looked very flat and errr...dull.

Edit to add, piccy here:

Or it could be all of us who are wrong.

Any idea what colour it officially is?

[Will Power]

Same colour as this one I think (see profile).
Wasn't this the chap who also bought farmeryellows S3?

not only the best colour, but the best handbrake too. Well, a handbrake full stop.

[shnozz]

maybe the pointy beard is so long it digs in the ground at the bottom of the hill and supports both the driver and the car.

Don't start

[WildfireS3]

Do you have a pointy beard?

I most definitely do NOT I like to think I do nothing to perpetuate the 'bearded S owner' label that is often referred to.

No cardigans, no slippers, no tartan rugs. I think that's more Rover than TVR.

i am still listening
