Change point was some time during 2002. My Jan 1st 2002 is a Mk1 and I have seen 2002 Mk2's.
Most obvious external difference is that the Front Fog & Indicator lamps are aligned vertically on the (better looking) Mk1's where the Front Spots and Indicator lamps are offsett on the (uglier) Mk2's.
Mk1's had black infils in the grille area, on the bonnet, in the rear spoiler edge and on the rear exhaust cover and splitter. I think that
the MK2's lost the black on the bonnet, but this may have been a later model year change.
Mk1's came as standard on 16" Spider wheels and I think (?) that the Mk2's switched to 18" wheels, but that may have come later.
Having had a quick look at some Mk2's I don't think that there were any changes in the interior or the rest of the body. The Engine continued to be 3,600cc with around 340 to 350 BHP (hence the T350 Tamora Hard Top). The engine internals were supposed to be better quality for the later builds.
Over to the masses of PH to enlighten us about any more changes.

p.s. Before the flames arrive the uglier comment is very tongue on cheek. All Tamora's are beautiful, especially at the back end.

I think that's about it Bob. I have the uglier Mk2 ;-) and apart from the items mentioned it's the same car. I love the look of the Tamora the back end is great and the front is fantastic it has real presence.My fav TVR is the Cerb but no convertibles or T tops other wise I'd have bought one

Hi Buzz
Hope that you got the wiring diagrams alright.
I love, love, love my Tamora, but I am afraid that in my humble opinion it isn't the best looking car that TVR ever made. I lust after a Tuscan convertible, but prices are way out of my reach.
The first time that I saw a Tamora I was smitten and it was great when I was lucky enough to be able to own one. But then I saw a Tuscan convertible and it was love at first sight again.

I could be wrong but I've a feeling that there were some very subtle interior changes - the shape of the door card surround I think changed. Not to mention the addition of the Tuscan seats in the later cars (like my '06).Lee
