Havana Pictures taken today on this link:
http://sdrv.ms/y4yRd6
The link above takes you to a load of photos taken today - straight out of the camera - all I've done is blur the number plate.
It wasnt too bright in the show room so I had to push the ASA which has made some a bit grainy - but look what happened when I used a flash gun - the car almost turnes a bluey-grey!!!
To summarize - in the showroon the car looked absolutely fantastic! It seemed to turn from Grey to bronze/brown as the light caught it from different angles. I suspect that in an overcast UK will will usually look dark grey - but when the sun comes out - its going to be fantastic!

Thanks Swabes, really appreciate that. The pictures look very good and I am happy with the choice I made. Just got to count down the days now.

That is a lovely colour, unusual and really suits the car. Great pics.

You and me both Martin! I headed in thinking that I may be changing my order to Barolo - but seeing Havana for real was well worth the trip. The dealer pics must have been taken with flash to get those results. I guess if you are standing with the sun behind you, you will have a grey car - but in the lights in the showroom the bronze flake and the brown really shone through.
I've never seen a finish like it before - maybe its a more subtle variation on the mad pearlescent colours TVR used to use!

It was my intention to try to choose a colour that was not the norm and it looks like that has been achieved. I am still working on a cunning plan to get over to Welwyn to see the one in the dealers over there. Obsession, what obsession?

Yes it does look really different but deffo suits the evoque. You can see how different it is from a black car in the shots with the freelander(?) in the background.
Great choice.
BTW even though I have gone for ablack it does seem to stay much cleaner than I had expected. The premium metallic has been protected but it looks fantastic all the time and so easy to keep clean. Not sure if having the premium metallic helps but I'm now justifying the choice and extra cost to my self even more now
RE: HAVANA - MartinP - 22-02-2012 09:20pm
Cheers Dai. I am encouraged by your comments that yours appears to stay cleaner as I am not the greatest car washer in the world and if the premium metallic requires less maintenance it will be money well spent.
