2008 Colors

We haven't gotten color charts yet, but I did manage to snap some shots at the LA auto show.

I hope this helps those of you interested.

If you want to order a car, feel free to contact me and I will help you do so.

We should hopefully be getting our first cars this month. I have an Ice White SC Elise & Storm Titanium Exige S 240 that are available at this time.

I haven't seen the Liquid blue in person, so I won't know until someone orders one.

I'll post pix as soon as the Ice White car is on the showroom. I did find this photo someone else posted on here helpful. I think that is the ice white on the table.

I will miss it dearly. I am looking to see if they made an 07 S in it.

The Persian Blue is pretty cool. I could see myself in a new S that color...
