The Taimar was presented at the Earls Court Motor Show of 1976 and was TVR's answer to persistent complaints of both the motoring press and customers on the lack of accessible luggage space of the 3000 M. Therefore the Taimar was basically a 3000 M with an opening tailgate. 

With the back closed the 3000 M and Taimar were virtually indistinguishable, except for the additional boot panel line. The release button for the hatch was cleverly placed in the driver's door jamb. The increased practicality of an opening boot was instantly appreciated by the TVR buying public and the Taimar already outsold the classic 3000 M in its first production year. Produced from 1976 until the end, 395 Taimars have been built.
