To find me a Tamora Roof - mine went flying on the M20 two weeks ago and now am finding it difficult to get hold of one. The weather is gorgeous and I cant use my car....;(

Ideally looking for a spare 2nd hand one.

I have tried Douglas and the AutoWash Repairs. Jason @ Str8Six on the case via the Multipart route and his other networks.

I would REALLY appreciate it, if anyone could help me - Thank You, best farook

Possibly a long shot but plasticman (Dave Hills) on here does loads of TVR GRP work - might be worth a try to see if either he knows of any or maybe even make one up for you.

Hi.

Can't help at all, but surely not having a roof in this weather isn't such a big problem? I'd keep using the car and carry an emergency tarp. No roof in winter would be more of a problem.

Good luck in finding the new roof.

Didn't you give me ride in your Tam up the Gorge a year or two back? Can't help with the roof but good luck with your search.

Just thought... have you tried S&D Blackpool? click

Tell me about having the perfect weather to use the car! But my Tam lives on the road and nowhere to keep it safe...somehow my faith in average joe - walking past a covered but open TVR in london, is not good...;(

Zippee - will give him a shout - I think having the mould is going to be the hurdle...

LordG - it was indeed me - I think with S&D, its going to be as above - but gona give them a shout now.

Thanks guys, f

bell hill garage and douglas valley

also, there's autowash??? and some guys in northumberland who advertise TVR breakers on fleabay all the time.

a griff roof is about £300 I guess a tam would be more.
Good luck...

Maybe TVR-Power could supply one. If not give Surface&design a shout they are making new ones for Griffs and might be able to help you.

Cheers Jens

Long shot, but one of the dealers might be prepared to loan you one for a couple of weeks.

Hi Farook - I would also suggest emailing Plasticman - that would be my first port of call smile. Good luck!

hi Nicky - yeap i have emailed/hasseled DavidH - awaiting reply - if anyone has phone number please pm me, if appropriate...

Andy - tried DouglasV; Autowash and BellH - but not the fleabay guys - thanks for the tip - will give them a shout - cheers!

aerospoke - s&d: trying to see what they can do; left msg for Power - but thanks for the suggestions.

tobeee - ulimately, i will have to resort to this - but its gona cost even more if i need a mould made up! - hence my thought of getting a carbon fibre one - via carbon cerbie or ACT or anyone else - tried esserworks too.

cheers for the replies guys and please keep them coming...somewhere amongst these will be a decent solution, i hope...

best, f

That's good news! But it's surprising how different your Tamora looks with the red roof! hehe
