My Estoril Blue TVR Tamora Journal

Thursday 20th January 2011

This is the sort of thing I love to see, and part of the appeal of owning a TVR I imagine. Taking it off the road for a couple of months, tinkering with it in the garage and sorting little annoyances that only you would notice. Then giving it a damn good clean and bringing it out for some fun at spring. Not just a car these things. cloud9

It is very much of the appeal for me anyway i take mine off the road every winter then have a tinker fest for a few months

Very nice sir.

Estoril Blue... the best colour to have!

Out of interest, is that a factory paint colour?

Yep that is the colour it was built in as there are no colour changes recorded on the HPI certificate

The OCD part of me loves that its a speed six and painted in a BMW colour, nice touch smile

Thats an awesome car to own at 21! Thought I'd done well on the Impreza (also limited mileage) but fair play! smile

Love these cars and I'm seriously jealous! Do you have a warranty on it?

unfortunately due to a business venture meaning I need garage space and extra cashflow the car will be going up for sale soon. I have a few more bits to update and will get some more pics up. I love this car but I've had so much fun in the car but I am young and need to invest the money elsewhere! I will 100% be back to TVR ownership within a few years hopefully a Sagaris!

Hope to see you back in the near future with that Sagaris thread.

cheers Mark, I will probably end up keeping it not in a rush to sell but it would help with the business I am running as I could really do with the garage space! hope your well... I might get along to the next meet if the suns out

car got picked up Saturday.. affected me more than I thought seeing it drive off.. but needs must and I have now turned the garage into storage for my business needs! The new owner took the car straight to Chatsworth and assures me I will see pictures of it under his ownership! May he enjoy it as much as I did.

Now on the look out for a new car so a fresh journal will be started once purchased. Got a few options of what I am after... going to see a 996 911 Turbo at the weekend and an SLK55 AMG Merc. although feel free to message me if you are thinking of selling something interesting. Must be practical to not need garaging. budget 15k-25k
