350 max I understand.
Dvla have 160 still registered and I'm up-to 190 on the register.
Need to get back on to that project as I've had more important things than cars recently

I recently bought the LS2 Tamora for sale, good car. I went to Ian at Sportmotive who knows of the car and did a report on it. Basically it was all there , a few short cuts had been taken. The major one being the gearbox adapter plate and slave cylinder. Glad to say this has all been resolved and now works well without issue. The next major step has been to get it remapped correctly as this had never been done correctly. I took it to West Tuning at Thruxton.
Ray West a race driver himself was superb. He had the car for just over a week, multiple runs on the rolling road . Went in with 289bhp and came out 425.4bhp and 480 lbs torque. Basically it is running an Emerald ECU and a Steve Heath modified throttle body. Only one Lamda which was installed on one bank so the poor old engine did not know what it was doing. Lama disconnected and now running a scatter ignition. No cold start issues and starts on the button.
Just had door ECUs rebuilt at Python racing by Jody now windows working as they should.
Be good to speak to Don1 who I think was a previous owner.

What's the price guide on a Tamora?
I ask because most seem in the mid £20k's yet there's one been on the bay for ages, now at £19750.
Not really in a situation where I could upgrade from the Chimaera but......

Early car, but still looks good value to me in the current climate, like all Speed 6 engined cars, engine history would be a consideration, £4.5k plus VAT for a rebuild, still worth it in my opinion!

That car is an absolute steal in my view.
