Seriously though, I've hade TU55 TWO for just over 12 months and it has been absolutely fantastic. I bought a 2003 Tamora about 3 weeks ago for the missus and I must admit it does drive a lot better than the Tuscan. Although not as fast in a straight line its smoother through the gears and doesn't seem as "raw".

At the end of the day its down to you. If you want something a bit more on the wild side then get a Tuscan, if you want something a little more refined then get a Tamora. All in my humble opinion of course.

Tamora - The best TVR out of the box bar none.

Never driven any other TVR but the Tamora is fabulous. So easy to drive, which means that you can use it as a daily driver and don't have to think (as I thought I might) "Sgould I take the TVR today?" as everyday is a Tamora day.

I bought a new one, so have a three year warranty - and allegedly a stronger engine? Dunno about that bit, but looking at the threads the newer ones seem less likely to go pop? Anyway, in some respects I wish that I'd paid less and put a pot of cash away for re-builds as I like the idea of getting a 4l jobby, or one of these Craft/Power etc upgrades.

Yeah...get a Tamora. I truly love mine, and as a first foray into TVR it's been nothing but positive.

Oh yeah, and they are so rare it's really nice. Maybe there ARE fewer Sagari but (a) they're still making them, and (b) you're much more likely to see multiple Sags on a run and be the only Tamora.

Thought all Tams were 3.6?

On topic - Late next year I aim to change up from my Chim and the Tam is right at the top of my wishlist. I love the T2 but everyone I speak to raves about the Tams driving and handling.
