Cleaning Advice - Tamora and Griff.....
Discussion
Most importantly make sure that good quality spotlessly clean microfibre cloths are used. There are numerous good quality polishes on the market, Zymol, AutoGlym, etc. - I currently use Meguiars Gold Class with a top coat of Turtlewax Gloss Guard. On wheels unless really heavily soiled I use Cif Bathroom Mousse - Lemon and Meguiars Endurance Tyre Dressing. Inside I clean leather with Lux Soap Flakes and then Meguiars Leather Conditioner. Ordinary carpet shampoo can be used on the carpets. Likewise ordinary window cleaner can be followed by RainX.

Yes it was! Have you still got the Griff? What colour was it - we have been seeing a black one near Caversham recently....Hope you didn't sell it with all the lovely weather we have been having!

Nice combination.... Sorry to digress a little, but how do the Tamora & Griff compare to drive Anita ? As a Griff owner, I'd be interested to know how such a (seemingly) similar car is like with the speed six engine...
Ah - that's the beauty of it - we both wanted TVRs but we thought it daft to have 2 identical cars!!
Apart from the obvious differences in look....and the difference in engine sound (loud growl vs. jet)...
With the Griff, I feel the power is always-on due to all the torque. With the Tamora, you can drive it like a normal car (if you so wish
) though it always feels special 
...and it is only when you put down your foot that the power kicks in and it takes off big time... The Tamora is also harder to drive I think in low gears (i.e. you can't do what you do in a Griff and pull away in anything other than 1st gear on the whole) and a little more jittery whereas the Griff is smoother and more forgiving...
The Tamora handles better and you can get away with more in terms of speed around bends.
The man in the house can give you the tecchie answer but as far as I am concerned they are both awesome and go like hell!

Not mine- ours is a 'Lotus Azure' blue one.
I'm 'glad' to report the offer we made on that house wasnt accepted.. so still have the 500
