A new TVR owner

[icraigmy]

I have just purchased a 3yr old TVR Tamora. It was registered in august 2002, and has done 14,000 miles, is silver, and has a full TVR SH.

I did read the TVR forum on the problems people are having with the TVR S6 engine. I must admit I was very nervous at first about purchasing a TVR. I wonder how TVR are in business!!!!!!!. Anyway I got 3 years warranty on it which includes engine rebuilds. So with piece of mind over possible engine rebuild, I took this beast out for a test drive. Wow!!!!!!!!!!! permit me to change my underwear. Its EFFIN awsome.

I have an MR2 MK2 at the moment, which is no slouch, but the TVR is something special. This is my last fling so to speak, before I have to grow up. All I have to say is, to own a TVR is an experience I will relish, its a fantastic car. Enough said.

Hi Ian,

Congratulations on your purchase. Where in Wiltshire are you from? I picked up our new Tamora on Friday from Peninsula and we are loving it to pieces.

There are a few of us in Wiltshire with TVR's now so hope to see you around.

Welcome Ian Glad you like it, how did you manage to get a 3 year warranty! well done!
Don't let possible kids put you off either, we have three between us, plus the Tam the kids know all there is to know about TVRs too! lol.

Have you joined the Tamora register yet?;

I live in Calne in Wiltshire. I think my neibourhood is in for a shock tomorrow morning when I start the TVR up.

[alloypearltam]

We are so close!!!!!!!

I have been through Calne 3 times over the weekend.

I am down the road in Melksham.

Put some TVRPower supersport cans on it and really upset the neighbours

[alloypearltam]

Actually noise was the thing that originally put me off 2 years ago. However I don't think mine is too bad.

I'm quite often in Trowbridge to visit the in-laws - we'll have to do a mini-Tamora meet some time

I just spent ages filling my t350t up! not because it takes loads of fuel but because if i don't do it slow it spurts out everywhere. Keep some tissues with you or something. Hope u get some sunshine for roof down driving.

Hi. Congrats on the purchase. Where did you buy from and how did you get a 3 year warranty? That sort of deal would make a Tam just too much to resist.

I don't think it's a problem on the Tams, certainly never been on mine.

TVR must have felt the Tamora was too perfect, so decided to design some "quirks" into the T350

[alloypearltam]

Yes I suspect that the very nice metal filler on the T350 is the problem.

We have to make do with a very functional (boring) filler under the boot lid. Mind you at least it is hidden away.

Alex the colour looks great on your Tam, drop us a line when your next coming down to Wilts.
