Black Tamora in Richmond

[flagpole]

Spotted and had a nice chat with him in Sainsburys car park. Doesn't come on PH much but hope to see him around. Nice sounding sports exhaust. As he pulled away and then me, saw 2 old people point and give 'that' stare, muttering something about noise. Marvellous.

Is your Tam Reflex Charcoal, Andy? Looks great in your profile. Much more aubergine in it than mine.

Thanks for the compliment Lee! 'Nebula Black' is the name for it. I beleive there are only 3 TVRs in the country in this colour, one Saggy, one Tuscan plus mine. Works really well with the sun on it, where it glistens red, green, blue, yellow etc depending on which angle you look at it! (Pic doesn't really do it justice). Without the sun it is just black. Is yours similar?

Lee, uploaded another pic into my profile which hopefully shows you better (still doesn't do it justice!).

Now I can see the colour. Were you at Supercar Sunday? I'm sure that I saw your car there; definitely a Nebula Black.

Quite amazing colour!

Mine is very subdued; it primarily looks either black or dark metallic green most of the time, but when the light catches it right (needs to be from a low angle) you get lots of purple.

Again photos don't do it justice - but then you can't drive a photo either

Been to a few events this year, pretty sure one was Supercar Sunday. You're right, photos don't do our cars justice at all! You got any photos of your car showing the 'other' colour?

Yeah, but only on my 'phone! Must get some good ones. Keep taking pics, but they never seem any better colourwise so haven't bothered to upload to my profile.

But I'll get there; some nice autumn afternoon light should do ths trick.

As Flagpole's long suffering father/financier, I can confirm he was at Supercar Sunday at Gaydon earlier this year.
His memory was not helped on the day by bumping into an old flame (sitting in a Ferrari).

Never had any taste, good job I got rid. I ask you, a Ferrari over a TVR? What a loon
