Why do you think you're the only one? Many people don't like the shape, but their opinion is often based on photos only. Many change their mind when they see one in the flesh.

If I had 1p for every photo taken of mine, I would be a rich man.

And let's not forget one of the most important aspects of a sports car - the way it drives and handles!

If I had somewhere to keep one, I'd buy one in a heartbeat.

Would make a great stable mate to my Chimaera.

Fantastic looking cars.

Two TVRs can fit into a single garage. Just need a post lift.

Like the front - never thought the rear was particularly well resolved

That is a good shot, it does make the car look very attractive but.......................who let the children design the rear?

Edited to say, the rear of other models works with the rest of the car. I think TVR were trying too hard with the tam.

Classic case, the old chim.

Mmm, I walked the track last year and I can only think it's the bomb hole, but then it's just grass on exit,,, or is it ,

Errr the Tam is a lovely car chaps.

Hang on is it the turn after Hamiltons, can't remember the name of it, that's seems wrong to as there's quite an elevation change going on in the pic,
Looks darn good though.

Tamora is one of many TVRs with a rear that is not quite right, but it more than makes up for that deficiency in the way it drives.

I don't get the ugly thing at all, I think they have aged really well and still look modern considering the design is around 14 years old. I've loved mine since the day I had it and it gets a lot of positive comments smile

As said above, It's the rear that makes the Tamora in-attractive


Tamora + Griffith rear = spot on !

Photos don't do the entire car justice IMHO. Always look good in the flesh.
Rear end design was a little hard to deal with when they first came out.
To this day I remember one PH poster at the time used the phrase "like a prolapsed ar$e" hehe
