Hello all, Optimax Sniffer & myself are on the train, going off to pick up our new Tamora, very exciting!!!

We'll probably be on here asking lots of newbie questions so I thought I'd say hello & ask you to be gentle with us!!

Already got the stupid grin on, I'll be like a Cheshire cat for the drive home!!!

It is always a very special feeling when picking up a TVR, it never fails to give you that very special sense of occassion feelingyes Enjoy the drive home, it will certainly be different from the cerb, thats for sure. I`ve had 2 tamora`s over the years, and they are very underated cars, you will not be disappointed. Don`t forget to post some picturesthumbup

I went that route (Cerb to T-car (T350)) as well, so I know what you will be experiencing. You will be amazed by the handling abilities of the Tamora. (Had one before the T350) Enjoy, as the others told you!!!

Oh, and the T-cars are emitting the best sound of all TVRs (when equipped with a TVR Power sports zorst), though that might be a question of taste...

Thanks all! At 5ft 3, I find the cerb just that little bit uncomfortable to drive with confidence, as I'm at full stretch all the time (even with extension pedals)
I have driven a griff in the past and preferred the driving position, and immediately found the Tamora to be much better for me.
Im equally excited to get back to some topless driving fun!!!

And it's dry and vaguely sunny as well for the trip, result ! When I collected mine from Racing Green, it was a hot May day last year and remember sitting in crawling traffic for miles around stonehenge, watching the temp gauges go up and up and up, bricking it that it would overheat or the fans wouldn't cut in properly but nope, all was good, and all has been good on the little beast ever since !!

Enjoy :-)

Topless and Bristol(s) in the same sentence can only be a good thing.

If it drives anything like our T350c, even after the Cerbera, you'll really, really like it. You do need to work it harder though - all the power is up at the top of the rev range.

I wondered who bought this example. Been admiring the classified add for weeks.

Hope you enjoy it.
