Have any of you guys got any shots of the interior of a Tamora finished in Marine bison ? I think Henley Heritage’s custard yellow demo car has this colour. I’ve just spoken to them but they don’t have any interior shots.

On a completely different subject, I was watching “The Fast and the Furious” last night. Great petrolheads film, especially on DVD with the surround sound pumping out !!
They kept on going on about “10 second cars”. It got me on to wondering how close the current range of TVR’s are to doing the ¼ mile in 10 Seconds ?

Can you tell I’m getting bored waiting for my car ???????

Cheers,
Nick

10 seconds..... We wish !!!

Cerbera is about 12.4
Tuscan = 12.8
Griff (500) = 12.8
Chimaera (450) = 13.8

Not sure what engine was in the Cerbie ?

BUT that said, I've yet to find anything on the road that can keep up with me !

There are two kinds of blue bison, Marine and Saphire. I've put a picture of Saphire on Fotango, see below. But have yet to see Marine. Potless, do you think the picture is what is in HH car ?

Potless might keep that rather lovely spoonerism!

I dont think it is you know. I think HH's one has a bit more red in it, to make it more towards the purple part of blue.

Not to confuse you though, its bright blue, just more red in the mix than that one in the picture.

Hope this helps.

Matt.

I'm told it will be at the dealers in about 2 weeks. So once they have done the PDI and a few other bits I am looking to pick it up around the 16/17th March. The blue in the picture is not the one I'm going for. It's just toooooo blue in the flesh. I've gone for Marine Bison, Slate Lamonta and grey carpets. Now it's too late to change I'm starting to panic and think it will look crap !!! I presume that's normal as I was also worried about the paint colour and I love that.

I got in a bit of a state about my colour choice, too, I think it's natural. But,it all turned out fine, and the Lamonta is definitely worth the money. I took mine to Hillfoot, to show them, and the comments were all very favourable, and one chap thought the interior looked more Aston Martin than TVR - fanciful, I know, but it shows that this finish does work, and takes TVR into a different era.

I think you'll be really pleased when you get it.
