Tamora with a difference

[Andyt25]

I was at the Lotus dealer in Bristol yesterday and in the corner was a yellow Tamora...it was dirty and was abviously having some kind of work done to it. But something was not right with the car as it looked different. On closer inspection I noticed that it had the front end of a T350 and I must say it looked stunning. Does it belong to anyone on here and and is it a one off or are there more out there.

Hmm, do you mean T350 like or was it perhaps a Tamora with the 'Tuscan' style front lights. There was one at Supercar Sunday (maybe a photo in that thread) ?

No def a T350....the lights and vents were identical and I want one.

I noticed this at the supercar sunday also. I think it is a limited edition Tamora, probably about 10 made I was told. Can't remember who by though.

Good to see the Tamora getting a nip & tuck to look more like the supermodel it aspires to be

I've never heard of a special edition Tamora with T350 front end - I suspect people on here would have gone nuts (for or agains't) if one existed.

There was a T350 at the Austec bodyshop recently getting some Sagaris addenda. Definitely wasn't a convertible though. Maybe Newlun Designs have been busy again.

I saw the one at Supercar Sunday too. I think that someone told me that it was modified by SP? Might be wrong though.

I think it was Kiefh's? I've a photo of the group sound-off and enlarged you can see the front of it. Trouble is, I'm a numpty and can't figure out how to resize the photo and/or post it here!

[targarama]

I thought all SP did was change the headlights? (good improvement though).

[t40ora]

Maybe; I might have just got part of the story.

And yeah, it does look good.

Resize it in Adobe photoshop - or send it to me, I'll resize it and send it back to you. If you e-mail me through my profile, I'll mail you back and then you can send me the photo. I will attempt to remember my Photobucket password and post it up here afterwards!

I'd like to see this as I've seriously contemplated having my Tamora's nose replaced with a T350. A rear end conversion would look even better!

Would this be the one?

I have no idea about it btw, I just remember seeing it recently and managed to find the pic

Yup, sure sounds like Kiefh's, but I don't think there was a ltd production run of 10 specials - someone at Supercar Sunday told me Kief pranged his Tam, so when fixing it decided to go for a different nose.

There was a tamora like this on an E bay auction a couple of months ago,in hycalon midas stunning colour,i think it was a cat D can't remember what it made though.

[Andyt25]

Def not the one in the pic.The one at Williams Lotus was a complete front end off a T350.

[Andyt25]

Should be back at the dealer nest week so if it's still there will take a pic and post.

[plasticman]

I put a T350 front onto a halcyon midas Tamora about 3 years ago. I never saw it painted but it looked very good when my part of the job was completed. I have been trying to get photos of it ever since so would be grateful if somebody has some , David

The one in the picture belongs to Keifh was at Gaydon as well.

I see Kiefh's car is for sale in the classieds.

[Andyt25]

Well the Tamora is still at the dealer as it had a rear ens fire. Not much of it seems damaged thougt. I took some pics of the front of the car but cannot seem to be able to download them to my computer. If anyone wants to see them I will tx them to you and perhaps you can post them. I must say the car looks great with the T350 front. It's a shame that TVR didn't update the car by doing this.
