Looking for the history on some Tamoras

[kmpowell]

Does anybody have any knowledge of any of these car's history? Perhaps you were the previous owner of one of them, or have owned one of them in it's lifetime. I'm looking for info on Rebuilds, problems, etc etc... you know the score.









Thanks in advance
Kevin

Is the 2nd from last one at the TVR centre? Did you look on the tvrtamora site to see if any were registered?

Yep, to be honest since posting I've gone off that one, and I have a feeling the second one might have just sold. So it's the other 2 i'm now after info on, especially the first.

I did have had a quick look, but nothing sprung out.

I think the last one came from the TVR centre orignally as well, because I seam to recall its a replica of mine, except I did not like dark alloys.

Let me take a look over the weekend and see if I can match the pictures, so I take you are after one then!

cheers

After what seems to be an eternity away from the marque, I am so desperate to get back into a TVR! But after loosing a small fortune when I sold my T350 (I bought her new, so took quite a hit when I sold her just as TVRs problems went public!) the only way I can justify it is to get something a bit cheaper - so a Tam would be the way in. Ironically it was a Tamora I was initally looking at before I got swayed into buying a T350, so I am pretty au fait with them already.

It's just a case of finding the 'right' one, then if I do I have to try and justify it even further. The force is so strong though, so it's a strong possibility!

Good stable companions Tamora & R32 ! Same as we have.
After having both T350 & Tamoras I much prefer the Tam - top down driving takes some beating - good luck with the search.

How strange!

The 2nd pic (black one from HH). I've just bought :-) I picked it up yesterday so loving it. The other thing my other car is also an R32! Small world (good taste).

Cheers

Crikey Kev - you've only just got that Golf!?!

There is no escape from the clutches of TVR, you can only postpone the inevitable :-)

I hear the clever trevor/raceproved one postpone the inevitable a little more...

I had one of their slave/release assemblies fitted together with a new Power clutch a few months ago under warranty (well, it would have been rude not to do the whole thing when fixing a minor leak).

Kevin.

Just looked at the last one at the TVR Centre, its a great car, its colour scheme was based on mine, its done around 4k. Give Mark Tann a call there, mention my name, and he should be able to sort you out.

cheers

Kevin,

Really like the look of the 1st one, beautiful but aggressive. The FJ suggests it was sold by TMS its a nottingham prefix i think.
Unfortunately they closed down, i know the service guys opened an indie service centre there maybe they know the car. Ask for Paul Glyn, cant remember the company name though, performance something or other, sorry not much use i know

Thanks Mad and Maxx. I broached the subject last night with 'er indoors... let's just say the response was less than favourable, especially when I showed her the colour! It's not going to put me off trying though, and I reckon I'll be back in a TVR for the summer.

[maddog-uk]

The colour (i have one) needs to be seen to be beleived. I hated it to start with (other halfs choice) but when I saw it in the flesh, I loved it, its like a liquid yellow.
