RE: TVR Tamora | Spotted

[brownspeed]

A massively underrated model in the TVR range. The same performance and handling as every "T-Car", except the Sagaris, with the benefit of being a full convertible. Colour of this one doesn't help. Rear end looks can be a bit divisive, but they look better in the flesh. And even better in my garage!

I'm tempted by one of these. My shortlist has both one of these and the mk1 tuscan on it. By all accounts its a sweeter drive than the Tuscan but I'm struggling to get the looks. The tuscan looks like a 00's supercar, this has the hint of self styled kit car.

Maybe its like me and looks better in person.

You wouldn't imagine this as they are based on the same chassis, but the T350/Tam is a far superior drive to a Tuscan, particularly a MK1. Go for a T350; far better looking than a Tamora and if you can find a good Targa, you still maintain the wind in the hair experience, if that's important to you.

Hasn't aged well to these eyes.

Now, that Mustard Yellow (I'm guessing) Exige S1 behind it I want to see more of!

If they're based on the same chassis do you know what the differences are?

Fabulous car but not in yellow for me. The dark colours - reds, blues, purples and even black are spot on though. Notwithstanding my username, I’d have a Tamora over an SLK every time.

If there is someone here good at photoshop, how would you alter the rear end? Maybe blend a Tuscan Mk2 rear lights onto it?

[irish boy]

I remember sitting in a Tuscan 20 years ago and thinking it was like a space ship.

Tales of rebuilds always put me off but it’s turned out they’re cheaper to do and probably more reliable than the contemporary Porsche’s.

Oh how times change.
This once TVR forum now has a majority of posts complaining about the rear taillights of this $35k, 350bhp 1100kg open top rear wheel drive british sports car that contemporary reviews at the time claimed was a good step on for TVR in terms of quality and handling.



So in the spirit of if you can't beat em':

I do/don't like the colour
I do/don't like the shape of the lights
Should be cheaper
Should be more powerful (Lol)
Would rather have something more boring with a German badge, preferably in silver or grey, perfect for rainy days.
I demonstrably don't like cars and don't even know what I'm doing browsing this website?!

Now I can rest easily, after making such a valuable contribution to the internet today!
