Been thinking of trading up to a Tamora from my current 450 so arranged a test drive with a certain dealer down here. So I’ve just spent the last 2 hours driving to and from Chessington all for a 10 minute drive round town managed a staggering 40mph. I was told “short staffed” the fact I booked this 2 days ago so they knew I was coming and there were 3 sales guys in the showroom when we got back kinda pissed me off a bit . I know theres been a few treads about getting decent test drives from dealers but this was very disappointing and hasn’t inspired me to buy from a dealer, and to cap it off I still haven’t form an opinion of the Tamora

Pissed off Paul

Hear what you’re saying guys and it’s the “what works for some doesn’t always work for others” chestnut again

You’re right Ted, think I’ll leave it a week or so then get back on the Tamora trail – I do like the looks inside and out but there’s so much more then look when buying cars like these.

On the plus side they didn’t give be a bad trade in price of my Chimaera

Fernhurst's have been excellent for me too - bought my current Chim 450 there - heres the keys sir be back in a hour sold to the man with the stupid grin! Unfortunately they don't sell and don't anticipate Tarmora's getting onto their forecourt for a couple of years so I'm forced to look elsewhere - bummer.

PS I'm not so pissed off now - had time to have a good blast in the Chim which has (as it always does) restored my grin

I had a test at MV in the Tamora. Ask for spencer, he showed me a good strech of dual carriage way between two roundabouts.

No idea how long i drove for though. I'd never driven a TVR before and found it quite involving

Bought a Tamora 3 months ago...



Stovey - were you going round the roundabout at Jct 6 M25 on Saturday @ 11ish just gone? Saw a Tamora just like yours stoppped at the lights.

Nice motor
