Hi all,

Does anyone know what colour (if any) a body code of 'TVR 073' maps to? One dealer says Ferrari 750 Grigio something (ICI P422-VRP7B) but I wasn't sure of this as Grigio is a graphite colour and mine is a very light silver-y blue. Called another dealer and they've said it's a TVR only colour (which I thought it may be given the 'TVR' at the front of the code). Can anyone clarify this?

TIA

I believe it is a Ferrari colour, Grigio Alloy. It's a light sky blue, is that what you have in mind? Hold on, let me see if I can find a pic.

Crystal Topaz has a pinkish tinge in it in some lights.

Edit-here you go.


There are other Grigios that have much more silver/grey/graphite in them.

It looks like Crystal Topaz in that Pic.
It should give you the code if you look in your handbook - name and code.

Or Spectraflair Topaz

If you do a search on Google for Spectraflair Topaz TVR or Crystal Topaz TVR and look at the images, proble you have is that TVR colours change in the light and the angle at which the pic was taken.

This is mine:



And it looks a pretty good match for that Ferrari

Mine definitely isn't Crystal Topaz or any of the Spectraflair colours with that slight tinge of pink - I should have said in the original post that it's Alloy Pearlescent.

I'm a little confused - were we trying to establish if the Fezza was crystal topaz, or my car?

Thanks for the replies

Actually looking at the full ebay ad for that Ferrari I don't think it is the same colour, not enough blue in it:
