So...I think I've worked out that I can afford a Tamora


A few questions for you:


1. Does anyone else park a car like this on the street (reasonably nice part of West London...but other cars are mainly novas and fiestas )

2. I'd be running it all round the year as my main car. Do I need aircon for summer? How mad do I need to be to use it as a main winter car?

3. Should I get a nearly-new one? Why would anyone sell a car like this after only a few months? How could I guarantee its been treated properly?

4. Thinking about colour combinations...maybe metallic green with dark-grey interior. Or should I go for something more jazzy?



I'm all . Let me know your thoughts.

Thanks everybody for your helpful responses.

Two more questions

1. Is anyone still running on 16" wheels? Seems like there would be some benefits in terms of cheaper tyres, less kerb damage and quieter ride (or am I just nuts?)

2. How do you work out what colours look good on a car. Do you just have to guess unless you've got a photo?

I'm lucky enough to have had a spin in a Tamora at the TVR Centre a few weeks ago.

Pretty convincing in terms of drivability and performance...even if the demonstrator did insist on racing every motorbike that went past

Still - me trousers cleaned up pretty well
