Just been on the tvr home page and it had been updated but in the current model list there is now only the sagarias, tuscan s and tuscan convertable. have they dropped the t350 and tamora? and where are the othere been made now?
Seen pics of the new tvr in evo but it does not say where it has been built.

They had the demise of the Tamora and T350 (Two of the pretiest TVR's ever!) penned in since last year unfortunately

Given the fact that they have shut down all production, it would seem to be academic.

I'm surprised that they are showing any models !
If anything you would have thought the Typhoon would at least have a mention
if there a SERIOUS attempt to get it built.
I'd suspect this site will close and rise again. Any prospective new
owners are going to be put off by their own press released about production,
factory closures etc.

I hope you are right James, and pleased to see a Tamora has managed to squeeze into your very large fantasy garage! thumbup

TVR said some time ago that T350 and Tam production would be limited to 500 cars each, but I don't think they ever reached that number, maybe ending up closer to 400 each?

Does anybody know the final figures for sure?

There was a rumour before xmas that the moulds and rights for these models were sold. Does anyone know if that rumour is true?

I'd heard 400 Tamoras and 750 T350s.

I think the C and T count as different models for the 500 limit.

Really? You see many more T350s than Tamoras at meets/events.

Never liked the Tamora, thought it was very ugly, however the T350 is one of the cars I'd like to own at some point in the next few years so that is a shame, I think it was actually the best design out of all the current cars Tuscan included.
