Oh I like that!!! What colour/wheels option did you go for?


Exterior colour and wheels are TBC.

Unfortunately the factory is closed for the Easter holiday this week so I'll have to wait until Monday to talk to the paint guru's at the factory... It will be a black, but which one is still unknown - I'm after a deep rich black to reflect the gothness of my Tamora, most likely a pearl. If I do go for the paint fade (using a deep rich red to compliment the Mulberry interior) this will be done after the car is deliered as the factory have said, 'No'. If I decide to keep it black then I'm going with a Mulberry hood.

The wheels are a tricky one. I've specified anthracite Spyders which will be painted the same black as the car if I don't find suitable replacements before collecting the car in June/July. I'm looking at 3-piece wheels that will have a polished silver rim with black spokes and shinynuts.

Are the heated seats from the factory or the dealer?

Hi there,

Should be a nice car, you will not regret getting a Tamora !!!

In the spec sheets it mentions

"Silverstone Performance upgrades
Stainless heat sheet
Push button starter"

Have you or anyone got any pictures of the stainless heat shield and details on the starter button kit ?

Are these off the shelf items at Silverstone now ?
Probably best just to give them a call !!!!

Cheers,
Nick

Can I recommend Mystic Black Pearlescent. It's a fantastically reflective black with lots of 'colour' (blues, reds and purples) in the reflection, but only if you look really closely. Check the reflection of the sunset on my front wing, from a pretty dullish day.

I think it has got a better look than Nebula or Moonraker, but I am biased.

Been toying with Anthracites too. I think the dark grey / titanium ones look great, but it's surprising the difference the TVR logos make to the silver spiders rather than silver centres. Totally black wheels might look a bit odd IMO.

Congats, by the way!

Love the top right picture with the 5-spoke alloys- absolutely gorgeous.

And all the colour combinations sound great.

I hope to be able to trade in the Griff to a Tamora soon enough. Notetoself: Must save more cash!

These will be dealer fit. I'm still working with Silverstone on the spec but it's looking like just the removeable seat cushions will have the heating element.

I don't have any pictures yet so it's best to give Silverstone TVR a call. They can advise the cost as well

Is it the Davin SP1's you like? I think they're brilliant wheels too but the company (based in the US) seems to have disappeared as their email and telephone no longer work

Yeah that's them. If the manufacturer is in the US perhaps a wheel specialists advertising in an American muscle car magazine might be able to shed some light on a supplier. Just a thought.
