Hi

Just bought this car from TVR-Mads and wondered if it used to belong to anyone on here please?

Hope to collect her at the end of the week.

Hi Davel, I nearly bought that car for my wife whilst it was for sale at Bespoke Performance. When I looked at it, it needed the drivers seat bolster repairing, all four wheels refurbing and it had a crack in the passenger side front wing that needed attention. It probably needed a grand spending on it to make it nice which in fairness to the guys at Bespoke I am sure would have been sorted prior to sale. I didn't buy it in the end due to a lack of garage space and my unwillingness to get rid of my Griff!

Good luck with your new car, I loved our old Tamora I hope you enjoy it!

Thanks very much for that.

The wheels have been refurbished and everythong else is being sorted but I will double check.

Looking forward to picking her up now.

Well, picked her up today from X-Works TVR where James at TVR - Mads had taken her for a check up before I collected.

Love the car already and actually prefer her to my old (but newer) Tuscan 2.

Drives brilliantly and sounds really lovely - even with a standard exhaust system.

God how I had missed that sound!

My son had seen her but I hadn't until today, so was really apprehensive till I got there.

Had a really st week so far, with a major fire at a neighbouring Industrial Estate, so was really delighted to get away for a couple of hours and pick her up.

I much prefer the dash and layout to the banana shaped one in the Tuscan 2.

Will post photos when I get chance.

Welcome to the Tamora fold. Best kept secret in TVR world!!!! thumbup

Mine has a standard exhaust setup too and it sounds great, really good to hear the engine noise rather than just exhaust... I thought... until TiTT now I am itching for a shouty(er) one.

Enjoy the car it looked great in the classified.

Well James at TVR Mads offered a great deal on a sports exhaust, so had it fitted just before Christmas.

Been using her in this recent fine spell and wow what a sound track!

Congrats on the exhaust.. Is it a JP or a Power one? I was over at James's place yesterday having a mooch around his 4.3 T350, Lovely car, Couldn't help noticing the gorgeous red Tamora he also has in stock.. God they look superb in the flesh in red,
it really works on the Tamora.. Someone is gonna get a beauty there.. A rare 06 car as well... My first dealings with James but he is a top bloke with huge TVR knowledge.

Ha - I was looking at it on an old ipad and I thought it was the same colour as mine (it's not!).
