And does anyone have any better pics - its looks a bit dull to me, putting me off what essentially looks to be a very nice car...

I think a call to Racing Green would be a good idea as they are mentioned as having re-built the engine. Also find out if they fitted the 'Nitrus' suspension. And retro fitting ABS must have cost a lot confusedwink

Have contacted the seller, yes, bit disconcerting about the ABS and im assuming he means Nitrons but could still be a good buy...depends on how genuine the car is.

Provided the seller gets in touch and seems straight, i will contact racing green.

I think there might be a clue in the fact Racing Green rebuilt the engine. laugh

Looks like "Rolex blue" to me, but the seller should be able to tell the color code from the type plate insider her boot, right.
Strange camcover color ... and what (for) is this "sticker ?" on the left side of the exhaust cans ???

I think that will be a "blueflame" exhaust logo.

It looks very much like the colour on mine. If it is, it would be halcyon blue. It does look quite plain under an overcast sky and in the photos, but it looks fantasitc under the sun as it brings out a mixture of violet/blue colour. I like it quite subtle myself, but you could argue I am being bias.

I agree with Wil it looks like Halcyon Blue Pearl which goes purple/violet in the sun. Nearly bought a Tuscan S in this colour but in the flesh it was too purple for me - not to say there's anything wrong with the colour it's just a matter of personal preference

Yeah, it can go quite purple/ violet under the sun actually. The main blue almost disappears. Fair enough different people have different taste.

hmmm - not sure on the colour - it could be Montreal Blue (as mine - see profile) - I'm sure whatever the colour it would look 100x better in the sun after a decent polish, compared to as it is in the dim light looking a bit tired...
