TVR100 Tamora is now light green
Discussion
The TMS car has gone to the dealer. I agree that single colour interiors are a bit dull, and I've finally made up my mind on silver-grey "bison" (pretend grainy leather), with slate grey lamonta (suede) inserts on the seats, doors, and roof lining, and Navy blue carpets, black hood. I hope it'll look o.k!! I'm also asking TVR if they'll colour the whole bonnet, including the vents, because I think the black bits look a bit unnecessary - but I doubt it will happen..... 
Nubbin,
What stage of build is your car at? I'm up at the factory on Tuesday and will have a look out for it (Atlantis Halcyon isn't it?).
I've often thought that TVR should install some web cams and a means of tracking the build on their web site. Imagine you could go in to the site each day and SEE how much progress has been made. Still, I'm not sure the guys who lay down the fibreglass would be too keen on the owner seeing what they've written on the bodywork though!
Mike.

Mike, I've had a lot of trouble getting hold of Sue Stoker, to ask her how soon my car will be "in-build". If you can ask Danielle when you go - if you mention Dr. Wilson, who toured last Friday, maybe you can get me the info neither me nor HHC have been able to get!!
have they assigned you a chassis number yet?
my first Tuscan (the 8th built) was assigned a number (and they started constructing the frame) in September 1999. The car was finished in mid Feb 2000!!!!
So what I'm trying to say is if they haven't assigned a number yet then it *may* be a few months off yet?
Are you the 1st HHC customer, 'cos if you are there can't be more than a maximum of 20 or so customers in front of you (although there's all the demos to be built yet).
Anyway don't worry I shall report back on Wednesday.
cheers,
Mike.
I am the first HHC customer to confirm an order, but I have been a bit tardy in finalising my spec. Lee, I'll certainly send you my details - are you at the factory? I have been told to expect my car in Jan/Feb time, so who has ordered all those cars, whose body shells I saw last week? All demo cars? I know my own inertia has contributed to my wait, but I just am itching to get that car!!
Tee Hee - sorry Lee - I've just checked your profile, and that litttle ol' light bulb lit up! Great to hear from you again. I'm sure your design is a winner, despite the initial reactions. The HHC car looks great in silver. You have certainly contributed to upping the ante for TVR as a serious sports car manufacturer - you and Mr. Hobbs, as well as JR and the suspension guru, whose name I've forgotten (apologies) have produced a superb car, and getting into the "final" of PCOTY is a tribute to your efforts!!
I'd love to be assigned a chassis number - I'm keeping this car for a long time, probably until it reaches classic status!
Incidentally, folks, can anyone tell me where is the best website to download free movies? All advice appreciated (Ted, you ain't seen this, roight?!)

Same as you guys, I haven't been given an exact date yet? I've just been told mid-late December so not too far off! Mind you, I did finalise the spec after visiting the factory mid September. I'm first in line from Kings out of I think 9 orders.
When I was there I was told that it takes 4-5 weeks to build a car from start to finish so if they're starting to concentrate on Tamora builds it shouldn't be too long for any of us?
Cheers......... Andrew

I ordered mine last week (16th Nov) and have been told March is realistic. They now have two production lines in action so things should speed up a bit.
Specced it up today so now I am gagging to see it!! So far no-one has picked my colour choice so I'm going to keep it a secret and hopefully I'll have the only one in that colour for a while!!
Viper GTS looks brilliant and if anyone has specced theirs in that colour I have some good pictures of it.

I know that no-one has chosen one in that paint -YET.Or my interior combination, because Danielle told me, but I'm sure they will eventually.
I'm sure if you speak to her she will tell you, however I am trying to surprise everyone so please don't broadcast it if you do find out!!
It's not Reflex Charcoal, or choclate starfish (chianti starmist)Benno keep guessing mate there are 12,000 to go yet!!

Flash
spoke to the factory
and must admit to being concerned about light beige paintwork with sheepskin fitted seat covers and mauve roof, sounds very 70's to me 
- but i guess at least it will be unique after all Andy 
is never going to order one Edited by bennno on Saturday 24th November 20:10
