Do drop in some time to our workshop for a brew and catch up.

The last one has passed 11 MOTs with no advisories...can that be a record!? (although the fuel line did split on the last one, giving us all a big scare!)

I remember selling my first Tamora, before we went to live and work in Italy. At the time, I had no idea just how much I would miss that car. They are still as exciting and rewarding to drive now as they were 'back in the day'. I don't think we'll ever see their like again.

Maybe it has a private plate on it?
Just tried using the original plate with my latest Tam, it says it cannot be found, so it must still have the original FE02BKK. Could have gone abroad, I guess..

I give you the worst car ever made in the history of all car making ever
What was the issue, early warranty-fest dog or just didn't get on with the different dynamics to the Chim ?I give you the worst car ever made in the history of all car making ever
Great story btw, I also ran my first TVR as a high-miler company car (Chim 400), spent more money in 3 years on upkeep than purchase given the main dealer philosophies at the time - 1st MOT was over £2k....

It cost £40,000 back in 02 and was an utter disgrace. What really did me was the attitude of TVR

That said, I love mine over 15 years later, they had done a much better job by 2004 when it was built

it was the final death knell of TVR, using their customers as test drivers whilst Boxsters, S2000 etc were all coming up on the rails.
