That does look like a better interior picture I must say. The silver car's an odd one; the carpets are coming away from the sills and there's a few chunks out of some of the seals. Looks like it's done more than 3k, but I admit I haven't seen it in the flesh.

That's the ad from three years ago when I purchased from MADS.

If you are interested drop me a mail.

The Green one at TVR Mads is also very nice too.

I know of a very nice red 06 Tam that may be for sale if interested.
Simon, it is a very nice Tam, red is a great colour for the car, what's next for you?

Hi Bob, not sure what's next, going to try out an Evora s. But think the tam is going to be hard to replace.

Your car is looking amazing, really like the updated front lights and new paint.

Got back from Drive Espania on Sunday. 2000-miles(ish) in 10-days in Spain. Did most of the road overtaking in 5th so there is some oomph there. There's just a step change in the performance when the revs rise to 4-5k.

Trackday there showed this perfectly. 2/3rd gear hairpin the RV8s (all 500s) would just stick with 3rd and pull out of the corner so much better (same against the 4.5 S6 that was there too). If I could squeeze in a change to 2nd then I was all over them on the exit.

I describe the 3.6 as dog constantly pulling on a lead to get somewhere.
Yeah but I could out brake you and go through the twisty bits just as quick as you and blast out of the corners and fly past you down the straights but I was being kind till I went for it wink
