Hello - New Tamora Owner
Discussion
Hello, 
I picked my new Tamora up yesterday from NL and drove back via Eurotunnell 333miles. I have been after one ever since I sat in it at the Motorshow! It had to be Yellow to go with my Chimaera.
Thanks to all the previous owners who confirmed all the history and filled in the gaps. It's lovely being part of the TVR family
Here are a few pics...

I flew my mechanic over with me so we completed a fairly comprehensive assessment of the car. I really can't believe how easy it is to import a car from the EU.
Engine compression looks good, chassis was good. Spotted a leaky shock so probably going with Nitron's as part of getting it sorted. New headlights going in to replace the LHD ones & new MOT being done today (fingers crossed!)
Interior leather on dash & center section is a bit tired so will get that sorted, Seats have already been recovered in black leather.
Paint work is good, although on the ramp the front splitter underneath needs a bit of touching up.
New Wheels & tyres and Clutch already fitted.
Engine rebuild was at 18,000 miles, now on 35,000 miles with FSH and all MOTs
Its a lot different to drive to the Chimaera and I think I will grow to like it, will be asking some questions about upgrades
It was a great price & even with all the above will be a good fun investment for the future.
Hope to be at Burley with it if the DVLA are quick

I noticed someone selling new pedals which were arched over at the top, are these just cosmetic or do they serve a purpose, reason I ask is I found my right shoe catching the brake pedal when accelerating a few times on the trip home. Also has anyone with long legs moved their pedal box further back, did this make any difference? I liked the seats and felt fine after the 333 mile trip home, but I am sure a few changes could make it even better to drive.

How did you find it in the Netherlands? A google search doesn't throw up much as all the websites are written in clogs.
The advert was on here for around 10 hours, I put a deposit down pretty quick to secure it as I have been looking for a yellow one for nearly 2 years. Main reason is I don't have to change my ph user name lolGassing Station | Tamora, T350 & Sagaris | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
