Extremely rare is Tahiti Blue, an early Cowley colour quickly dropped from the line up for some reason. I have never seen one before except for the image I found and put into the many colours gallery.

With the replacement bonnet attached, I bet that car is going to look stunning in the flesh

Having seen this car, the colour is very nice indeed, most unusual.

Beatiful colour ...i had the misfortune of helping the nephew break one of these , If i remember right the bonnet is from that car...if i was in the market for one I would take it in a flash...good luck (not that you should need it) with the sale..

Somebody save this car !!! Tahiti blue ....not many about and would be a shame for it to be broken.The one the nephew had was broken because of dead engine or would have been saved.This is a runner and deserves better ...
