Ex press tamora

[Ernie321]

Hi I Sold my 400se at the weekend so I had a trip up to track v road
today to look a the yellow tamora ( ex press car) well I decided to get it
It needs a few jobs doing before I pick it up
My questin is what colour should I have the wheels done
Shadow chrome or dark Anthricte?? ( if spelt wrong sorry )

[BuzzBillsberry]

It's entirely up to you but I prefer the standard silver, not that I'm a TVR bore regarding originality. I was looking at the car a few weeks ago when I was over a TvR.it's a nice car and once you've the jobs done it be a very nice car

I'm normally a fan of silver but yellow is just one of those body colours that needs a darker shade. I like the anthracites on my grey Tuscan and of the two you've suggested I'd slightly prefer that on the yellow Tamora. Shadow chrome looks great but I think it picks out best on a body colour like blue or black.

I've been coveting that particular Tamora on a nearly weekly basis , very cool car with a rather nice sound and excellent provenance .

Wheel wise, i'd go for Sparkle silver - Track V have finished two sets of spiders for me and i really like them.. like OE silver but with more depth - not blingy !

The red Tuscan Convertible in there showroom has them ,and IMO looks rather stunning.

Yellow paint will look flat in the sun so black wheels will give the car a lift, all IMO of course.

I have a hunch as a press car it had silver wheels - so I'd stick with that.

Silver for me......

Lovely looking car, drooled over it at Burghley and it's been a regular viewee on my current look for something new, I'd have gone for a dark coloured wheel.

Hi,

Good choice, I have the sister car which is a slightly different colour and was at Millbrook.

Please see thread for various images of wheels, on my car it seems to have had all 3 versions in its life.

The wait is going to do my head in,I Still can't make my mind up about the colour for
the wheels
How many tamoras where in this colour ?

[chris watton]

TBH, that Tam will look good no matter what the wheel colour.

What about painting each corner a different colour, and see which one you like best!

For what its worth, besause of the history of the car, I would go for silver...I would be pretty certain the car would originally have had silver wheels....there must be some press/launch photo's of the car somewhere which would confirm this.

I'm pretty sure the original press car was a mk1. It was when flyboy owned it, anyway.

Shadow chrome faces with black backs for me. I think the contrast in colour created with light coloured cars looks great. Silver looks good too but they show up the dirt more!

Yup, well done. If it were me I would def put silver spiders on the car.

It still isn't that car. The one in the pic on TVR100 is a mk 2.
