Another deposit put down on a Tamora!
Discussion
Well having looked at a few cars, I have put down a deposit on the Cascade Blue Tamora in the classifieds and now have lots of questions.
Did anyone on here previously own the car or know it's history? It has had 3 owners and looking through the paperwork, it looks like the last owner bought it from Tony Gilbert. It also has a TVRCC sticker in the window. It is in immaculate condition throughout and a credit to it's previous owners.
The cascade colour is a bit love/hate but must admit I do love it. Anyone know how many Tams are around with this colour as it seems quite rare?
Insurance wise the best quote is currently with MSM, Adrian flux weren't competitive. I've tried my current insurer and all the big boys, but are there any more specialists worth trying.
I have a car cover from a previous Westfield I'm hoping might fit but is there anything else I should consider? I also need to look into the world of battery conditioners etc to keep it charged in the garage - where is a good place to start?
Cheers

Don't want to cause any alarm, but it does look like little droplets of oil allong the underneath of the car, Check the oil pressure sender is not leaking, it's a quick and easy repair or get them to pop the bonnet and check for leakes..........cracking car, great colour.
Looks like it has just been out for a test drive in damp road conditions to me. Notice the moisture in other places such as the rear screen.Targarama said:

I have a got a quote from Mannings and they seemed very helpful and their policy seems good (allows you to use the repairer of your choice), but MSM are still cheaper by £70 and have a lower excess. Do people have positive experiences with MSM?
Went with MSM in the end for insurance, most competitive and seemed helpful and knowledgeable.
I've also got a CTEK battery conditioner from ebay, charging via the cigarette lighter as we speak.
I noticed that the seats have lumbar adjustment last night, didn't spot that before Not sure what else I may discover.
Only issue so far is the speedo reading zero then fluctuating wildly. Understand this is down to the speed sensor requiring cleaning but waiting to find out more.
Loving it to bits and it's a shame it's tucked up in the garage all week this week. Hoping for some good weather over the next few weeks.
