This page attempts to show all of the colours that TR8’s were available in. If you have a TR8 in a paint colour that doesn’t have a picture against it or a colour not shown here I’d be grateful if you could please email me a photograph of the car if at all possible along with the paint code and name for the colour. “WARNING” Pictures shown of actual cars can be different shades from the original due to the camera the picture was taken with, and or the screen you are viewing it on.
