Tamora: 10 years and counting....

[ALT]

Hi all,

My Tamora was ten years old last week! I collected it on 25/01/02 and have done 68,000 miles since. I did 10,000 miles a year for the first few years but with more working at home and the arrival of a child the mileage has decreased. Nowadays it's just a 40 mile round-trip to the office two or three times a week.

The car's at TVR Power today for it's MOT which will hopefully be trouble-free.

All ownership costs are in teh blog. Here's to the next ten years!

Cheers... Andrew

Very nice, and interesting to see the running costs.

I recently bought a 2002 Tamora that I would like to keep for a long time.

Happy anniversary!

Congratulations! I can almost do as well - our Tamora is 9 years old in a couple of months. Can't be too many long-term owners out there, or am I wrong?

Happy 10th. Sincerely hope I never have to get rid of mine.

Nice one.

Mine will be 10yrs young on the 5th Sept. Not owned her since new, just for the last 3.5 years. I have managed to double the milage on her in that time though! Still on the original engine & clutch too, either I drive like a big girl or I got a good un from the factory!

WOW!!! That's got to be a record. Has anyone else owned a Tamora/T350 for that long?

I wished I wasn't so fickled and could own a car for that long. I always seem to take a big chunk of depreciation then sell cheaply because something else catches my eye.

Anyway, fingers crossed, half year of ownership and so far it's still as exciting as the first drive.

shorts! must have owned his T350 for a while .... 175,000 miles and counting...

[shorts!]

Got mine in March 2004, so not even 8 years. Will drive it 'til it wont go any further, after all who would buy it with so many miles on it?

Cheers all...

MOT's completed at £395! Nothing major but it all adds up!

As to the question of anyone owning a Tamora/T350 for longer the answer's no. The only older Tamoras were dealer-demos but I do recall that the first two customer cars left the factory on the same day: mine and another one.

Cheers..... Andrew
