Did TVR significantly change Tamoras over the years.Are there Mk1s,Mk2s or even Mk3s,and were there any recalls(don't laugh),and are later ones better built or more reliable?

I thought there were only two mks, and the difference between them was fairly small, just some cosmetic bodywork changes but nothing significantly different that would alter the reliability. Arguably the S6 improved in reliability towards the end of production, but doubt that is linked to the Tam Mk1 & 2.

As far as i know the main difference is the position of the front fog lights, they changed some time late 2002 ,
i think early tams also had black inside the bonnet vents and rear spoiler , but dont quote me on this !

As far as I recall the rear lights had their positions changed too.

I am unsure to a Mk 3.

Lets see some pics from Tam owners then......

Mk 1s had black air intake on the bonnet plus the front / rear lights arranged slightly differently.

I also think they had front fog lights, rather than the driving lights of the Mk II but could be wrong about this.

Mk III introduced in 2005 had painted inner wings wink

Common wisdom is that Sp6 engine reliability improved in later years.

Yes my 2002 Tamora has this, so must be an early Tam.

Yes, you are correct. The front fog light switch on the dash doesn't do anything on mine!!

Rear pic for you of a Mk II - I believe on the Mk I the indicator and rear light clusters where not 'aligned', but as you can see they are on mine.

I think there was an 'option' to spray the back bits body colour. IIRC it was the bonnet vents, rear splitter and under the spoiler/bumper at the back/front.
