Hello all,

I'm currently on the hunt for a Tamora. I've been to look at the red one at TVR MADS and wondered if any body knows of the car? It looks in fantastic condition but not sure if she's worth the extra money over others for sale at the moment?

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Regards

Simon

Hi Simon

I faced the same dilemma as you when looking for a Tam. After seeing lots of cars in all different price ranges I decided to spend the extra a go for the best I could.

The car at TVR mads is a late car and looks immaculate. If it has been looked after and has a proper history it may prove to be the cheaper option in the long run than buying a tired car and getting it up to scratch

Enjoy the hunt - here's a picture of mine :-)

Bought my Tam in 2005. Had the engine rebuilt and upgraded to 4.0L Red Rose in 2007 (with all the oil way mods), also had the ACT air box, Alloy radiator, JP Sports Exhaust System, and Nitrons fitted at same time in 2007.

Recently had a full respray in Spectra Flair Silver, courtesy of Surface&DEsign, and a full interior re-trim courtesy of D&C Trim.

Just showing you that you can buy an early Tamora and still get it modded to what suites you. It's not the cheapest option though getmecoat

Hi if you ever think of selling it, please drop me a mail, I am looking at a Tamora but it has to be yellow and they are pretty rare.

Cheers,
Jon

I am keeping my Chimaera, so it needs to be yellow to join the 'fleet', not in a massive rush but I thought I would start putting feelers out anyway, you never know.
