thought I would post this for anyone after a bargain although being a Tamora owner and wanting prices to rise it is annoying someone is selling so cheaply with an engine rebuild aswell. anyone know why its so cheap?

Sounds like there are a few niggles and milage is highish, but as you say still mega cheap with a rebuild. Anyone know the car?

[tranter5]

yeh thats the one mark cheers

[EnjyBenjy]

Hmmm, that's tempting although I imagine the winning bid will be higher than this...

[OatSy]

I can see a dealer snapping this one up.

Is £10k 'mega cheap' for a Tamora? Cheap, but not 'mega'?

[Don1]

It's 2k cheaper than mine, and mine needs far more work than that. Grab it, someone!

Don't know that 5000 miles a year is highish but were TVR around to do engine rebuilds in 2007?

Like the interior colour, looks like black/black or charcoal grey black? might recolour mine!

That's not high mileage. Mine has about 30k more and is barely run in.

[garreth64]

It's certainly not high mileage by normal standards. I have been keeping a record of all Tamora's for sale on PH since last August (a bit sad i know) and the average mileage for a 2002 car in that time is 28,767 so you could say it is higher mileage than 'average'. The average asking price of those 2002 cars was £14,833 so you could also say this a lot cheaper than 'average'.

I often wonder how many owners aren't in too much of a hurry to adjust/replace speedo senders when they fail to work which they are prone to doing!

Mine did that for a few miles, but it was balanced by doing 226mph while stationary and piling on the miles as much as it was doing 0 while traveling.

A bigger concern was losing about 10000 miles while converting back from km. At Le Mans this year I went from about 62000 miles to km and the display went to 80000.0 instead of the 100 000odd I was expecting. Presumably a limit in the software. I added 3000km and it all counted up as normal, and then when we got back to Dover 83000km converted back to 52000m.

Don't suppose there are many Tams out there that it will affect, and it may just be mine, but I wonder if it is a common glitch?

Never had a car that cocks itself before.

Are you saying this car bums itself!;)

Didn`t sell, no bids

[leerdam23]

Has anyone been to see it?

[MrChips]

I've emailed the seller a few questions as i'm in the market for a Speed6 to replace my Chim (which'll be up for sale this week).

Something doesn't quite sound right about the car, given the lack of a contact number, and lack of any real info in the advert.

I'd also be interested to hear if anyone has actually been to see it?

[Geoff Ashcroft]

Chips, the guy's mobile number is on the ad, under his email - I assume you never noticed, or it simply doesn't work?

[garreth64]

There is another one on ebay at the moment which is currently cheap on this thread:
