Since I sold my last Tamora I have missed it desperately. I am now seriously looking to buy one again. Ideally 2004 onwards, low mileage (no more than around 25,000 miles give or take), great condition with full TVR service history and one that has been warmed up properly. I know I am possibly being quite picky with only about 200 of them left but I am really keen on getting another but want to get the right one. Any serious sellers please contact me through here. If I see it and like it, I will pay cash/bankers transfer straight away. I am not a time waster and would appreciate no-one wasting my time. I live in Surrey but am willing to travel for the right car.

Hopefully hear from some of you soon!

Flagpole.

I know the feeling. Just taken mine off the road from the end of August until October and it's painful not being able to use it even for a 5 weeks. Such a great little car. I'm sure you'll find a good one.

If you post your budget you will get people thinking. Good luck.

Just checked the classifieds on here! not a lot to choose from.

I am willing to go to about £20k but that would be for a perfect car. Ideally around £16-18k as I want to put a warranty on it and a JP exhaust. As u say virtually nothing in the classified!

I'm quite tempted by the red one in classified at the moment!

It's within your price range and age.

Or am I missing something?

I had a Tuscan 2 for a while and am told that the Tamora is a really great drive.

Being perfectly honest, I am not a fan of red Tams. Desperate to get another one soon though!

Like u I'm also in the process of looking and my requirements are similar to yours. Watch out for the 15k blue one on auto trader I did a hip check and it's been exported and then come back. Could have chequered past and might be tricky to insure.

Good luck with the search hopefully we'll both be happy owners before too long.

Fancy a project?

Mine needs a rebuild but fits the bill otherwise.

Suitable discount for chocolate engine will apply.

Do you think the budget is realistic?

My thoughts too , it might be if your quick .
I know everybody over values their cars ( and houses ) but i wouldn't sell my 2004 23k miles Tam for £20,000 .
Despite what has been said on other threads i find at TiV meets the Tam is becoming very popular amongst existing owners of other models and i think in the coming years there is a chance that tidy cars will be hard to find in the UK .
Good luck to the guys looking at the moment, if you find a good one snap it up smile
I think there is two red cars in the classified at the moment and while I'm not a fan of red cars with black interiors there was a red Tam at Thoresby Hall S Club this year and it was gorgeous.

That's an engine rebuild btw, not a total car rebuild smile.
