TVR Tamora T350 - Unique???

[pauly]

Just checking out the cars for sale over here in Germany and came across this unusual car. The owner says it´s the only Tamora with a T350 front end!! Why the hell didn´t TVR build this car it looks so much better than the standard Tamora!

I like that alot. Looks far better with that front end on it. Makes you wonder whether the car got "rearranged" at some point though!!!

Wow - i do like that, I REALLY like that. Now, if I just spent less time on forums and more time earning money I might just be able to afford one.

Does anyone know if a Tamora could have the modification done. There are companies out there putting T350(ish) front ends on Chims/Griffs.

It is possible, just need a t350 nose cone and someone good with fiberglass to chop the Tamora nose cone off, match them up then off to the paint shop...

ETA: They will also need light clusters and move some stuff around too, but all possible.

I think this is Platicmans handywork again, a T350 frontend on a Tamora. I think it looks fantastic and it was for sale when I bought my Cerbera, boy was I tempted.

Indeed. I chose a T350 in the end, though I'd owned soft-tops for the previous decade. A missed opportunity for TVR.

Yes it is my work but I am happy to say it is no longer unique ! David

I'm not surprised there's more than one, it looks like a factory model......shame TVR couldn't see the light and build them.

There's an article in this months Sprint....company called Sportmotive are doing T350 headlamp conversions on Chims/Griffs for £1,800 plus VAT

i would do it for less than that! and also the tamora t350 combo looks great, i think i will offer this service!

a saggy on might also look good without the slashes. They were going to launch a smoothed out sagaris.

! ill do a photoshop later.

Could've been a Tam Mk2 . . .

a quick photoshop so excuse the quality but gives an idea!

[dinkel]

Not good innit?

[Columbo]

think the t350 works better, but TVR were talking of doing a smoothed out saggy.

No to the Sag / Tam front end - looks hideous.

Nor would and I think (at least I hope it is a photshop) the PS version of a T350 with Sag slats. It just doesnt "sit" right.

The T350/Tam front looks ok though. But I think the Tam suits its shape.

It would have been a Mk 3...Last model was a Mk 2

Surely it was the rear end of the Tamora that needed to be changed, not the front end - a Sagaris with a targa or convertible body and a V8 would have been the ideal 21st century TVR IMO.

Presume you mean the T350 on Plasticmans profile pic? If so it is genuine (seen it in the flesh) and it looks a lot better than the pics can do justice. Agree with you though that the best front end on the T350 is that of a T350.

On the other hand that tam looks fuggin fantastic with a 350 front on it!
