Looks Great, my own Pearl White choice would have been Renaualt 5 GT-Turbo/GTA-V-6 Turbo , Pearlwhite, one of the best White Pearls.

Do think you need a Red Interior rather than blue though. E-Types look stunning with a White/Red combo

Looks great in white, think the blue seats/hood/carpet suits it rather well. More than enough blue ones around that it wont be missed.

Honest opinion, don't like white cars, never yet seen one that I didn't think would look better in a, well, colour. TVRs in particular lend themselves to violent and brash colours - just like lambos. Paint job looks well done though

I was going to just repaint same colour. But then decided to do something differant. seen a few new cars that looked good in pearl white & havent seen a white Griff so decided to have complete change.Liphook Coachworks did respray as they do alot of TVR's. they compile full photographic history during stripping bodywork, prep work & respray

I agree, nice brash colours suit the car, but I do like the car in white. ]
