Looks lovely!

I thought they'd recessed the fuel filler cap on the production cars (yours looks like the dealer demo's). The exhaust end cans looks to be getting smaller too (or is it just the picture?)

The fuel filler is fitted flush, however I have modified it in that I have cut and removed the wire which retained the cap to the filler body. This was because you had to rest the cap on the wing whilst you put fuel in. As the wire prevented it moving more than a couple of inches. Now at least I can remove the cap completely and avoid potentionaly scratching the wing.

The exhaust cans are I think slightly smaller in diameter, but the exit hole in the end is larger than the dealer cars. Which is why it pops and bangs just like my old cerbie did and much more than a Tuscan S.

It's not painted, it's just a very poor picture of yellow leather.

Gorgeous car ! Congratulations !

I must admit though that I prefer the larger exhausts on the press cars that appeared in the magazines. The orange Sagaris in Evo has much larger rear pipes - which look better IMO.

You are a lucky bugger ! Enjoy the car and give lots of feedback.

Very nice .
Just to clarify are you saying your's is the last ever Halcyon Midas TVR they are going to paint, or are you saying your's in the latest Halcyon Midas car off the production line .
If the former, then I'm surprised as I always thought the factory would apply whatever paint scheme you wanted to your car, within reason .
If the later, its still very nice .

Fab car, Fab colour! But even more impressive is that you have a glove box that appears to close properly!

All the best - enjoy the Sag!

Valhalla...have been told that we can spirit the car from castles for the day, but ray would prefer to bring the peril.

Will probably be the last 'Big' event other than a Mid Essex meet that the Cerb does with us......

Everyone knows the Yellow Peril....would feel like a traitor leaving her at home for the Yellow Meet.

Looks great.

Consider anthracite wheels? Black/dark grey always looks superb on yellow.

It is the last ever Halcyon Midas TVR to leave the factory, you can no longer order this colour.
