Racing Green / You Tube Sag - Whats The Color Called ?

[neutral 3]

Hi all, anyone know what that Pearl ? Metalic Green is called and a paint code ?

[The Surveyor]

I thought it was called 'Jaguar Racing Green' or 'Jaguar F1 Green' but not sure of the code

Used on a couple of Sags and a Tuscan too and looks stunning.

Hi Paul, thanks for the reply !

And Hi Lock Pick !
We met on the Harlow Road in Summer 2010, remember ? i was with blonde Jen an ex, in my Griff and you were in your Griff, you asked me what i thought of your car and we chatted in the entrance to that Indian Restaurant. I remember you said you were after a T350 or a Sag.

So is that the You Tube Sag you bought ??

Agreed, looks very good indeed.

Is it not very rare and expensive?

From memory (and I might be wrong here) it is a colour that RG made up themselves
which I think they also prefer to keep the exact mix of it to themselves as well.

Looks similar to Skoda Racing Green

That shouldn't be an issue any paint shop worth it's salt & a decent paint system will be able to mix the colour.

Umm, from the experiences I've had in the past that is not always doable, especially with some of the TVR paints.

And that is with people who know what they are doing.

Hi Ric

Wow, that seems like a very, very long time ago when I had the Griff.

Yes my Sag is the car that was featured in the Racing Green Youtube vid!!!

In response to the colour I am led to believe that the colour was taken from the actual F1 Jaguar Racing car when they were in F1 a few years ago. I stand to be corrected.

Hello L Pick, yes where has the time gone ? I can still see your Griff coming towards me that day and I well remember the total shock and surprise @ seeing another Griff on the road at the same time ! Great chat we had that afternoon !

So you bought that You Tube car you lucky devil you ! I only saw the you tube film a week or so ago and was wondering what became if that Sag ! That color is just knock out, it's very similar to 3.0CSL Taiga Green, but looks Pearl rather that just a Metalic finish ?
All ways fancied one, (or a T350 ) but they are now so expensive that to raise that kind of money, the CSL would have to go, which ime not sure I'm prepared to do at the moment. My pal wants to wrap my Griff in that Metalic green, he reckons it would look great.
So what's your Sag been like and have you taken it abroad ? Pretty sure you were local to me, would love to see it, fancy meeting up ?

Surface & Design have the formulation for the paint, I managed to damage the front splitter bit and they made up the paint and it was an exact match.

Good to know, may just save that info for later. Think I have a new top colour that I like.
