Maybe the green that's shown on the press pictures ?

Maybe a light Grey ?

Maybe a Gunmetal Grey ?

or..............some form of Spectraflair ?

Any guesses ??

I'd hope for a candy apple red to keep the link with the preprod Sag!

Has to be purple surely? That or flipflop variation, has to polarise opinion, be more than just another red, silver, blue or whatever car.

Red = Ferrari
Orange = Mclaren
Silver = Aston Martin

TVR has always liked its paints, chameleons, spectraflairs etc, so what about something a bit more modern.

I've seen a BMW in an awesome in-yer-face metallic Purple colour - I think it was the PH BMW i8 actually featured on here

I reckon its going to be a dark colour (some form of grey). Maybe they will use the traditional Purple as the TVR colour.

Have they discussed what choices of paint / colour / finishes, will be available on the new cars yet ? In years gone by, pretty much any colour could be produced.

I think it will be a typically non-boring colour. But I think 'trick' paint has had its day.
Don't know why but orange springs to mind.

Given comments at the preview, my guess is one of the options will be very close to Mclaren Vermillion Red. Seen one in this colour and it looked stunning.

Don't think it will be flip or chameleon, or purple. My bet is a form of electric blue.

Either Burple or Poo.

Or Matt Chrome?

Meanwhile in a shed state-of-the-art production facility near Guildford, a man takes a call...
"Hi Gord, Les here, just read on PH... colours....COLOURS! ...they're expecting it to be painted... how the hell are we going to get that done by Sept 8th?"

Wouldn't painting it just add unwanted weight?
