Just driven a Tamora. Full report later but I may just have to eat some of my previously cynical words. It's er... amazing.

How big is the boot when compared to the Chimaera - just curious you understand.

I know it's been said loads in this forum but I really think it's a shame. It sounds like it's a stonking drive, just crying out for a decent body...

Maybe if I see one in a dark colour I may change my mind.

I just simply hate Tamora.."Queen of Goth" not...more likely "Queen of Gothic!"..I personally love all TVR from No2 to lastest Tuscan..but never never will get Tamora in the future even if it selling at 1K... Sorry PW and TVR team...Wear a decent Speccie in the next stage of designing a new car.

Just writing it up now. I was of the same opinion as you as I think/thought (just not sure now) that the styling didn't work.

However, the car is an absolute dream to drive. It's nimble, a word I've never used in reference to a TVR before.

Its fantastic to drive, sounds awesome and the styling looks better in real life.

I would get one tomorrow. As much as love the other TVR's I think this would be the one I would get, well maybe a Tuscan to coordinate.

engine is fine, dare I say better than a V8 now the probs have been sorted. Just a thought here...is the Tamora a modern play on the Q car, I saw a Tuscan S in black with black wheels and it looks menacing as f**k but the Tamora could wipe the floor with it and looks like a girlie car, think of the fun you could have.

Anyone tried out the heater on the Tamora? - it is coming up to winter, and I'm looking at a January delivery date.

Dunno about the driving and sounds, but I had a good nose around the TVR Centre dem car last Saturday, and it really looks far better in the flesh than in the picture. The arse-end looks completely different. In piccies it looks, to me, a mess. In the flesh it looks good and agressive. Love the diffuser tray.
