Sevenman,
The only advise that I can offer is to buy the car privately. I personally always like to see a car thats kept in a garage. Then when the owner takes you for a "Test Drive", you can see how the owner drives it from cold (if its warmed up properly)!
Then if you are concerned, have it inspected by a Professional. After that by a warranty if needed.
Buying from a dealer, is like buying blind !!!!!!!!!!!!!

It is a bit late now - the deal is done, and the car is coming from a TVR specialist.The only advise that I can offer is to buy the car privately
The previous owner certainly didn't skimp on maintenance, and there are some very large bills to prove it.
Trying to buy Tamoras privately reduces the choice. At this moment there are 21 for sale on Pistonheads, 18 from traders, 3 from private sellers.
If the garage has worked with the car for a few years and knows the owner, as was the case with this car, then I feel quite reassured.
There were some people (not on this forum) who told me to only go for a car with an engine rebuild. Very few for sale seem to have that, so it reduces the choice to nearly zero.
