First TVR

[Big_brother]

Just helping my brother who's the proud owner of a Cosmos Blue Tamora. Just got it yesterday and he's absolutely thrilled with it. I had a go today and even though it still has to be kept below 3000rpm the noise is phenomenal! I drive an E46 BMW M3 convertible which is no slouch by any standards but I can't wait to have another go in it when it's run in.
He's in between changing computers just now but I'm sure once he gets sorted out he'll register and say hello.

Anyway, here's some piccies I took today:

Bollox, the [img][/img] code that I use on the M3 site doesn't seem to work. Any clues as to how I can get the pictures instead of the link?

Lovely colours! How many miles has he done yet?

[Big_brother]

Sorry, bad case of RTFM!

[Big_brother]

Less than 100!

I really wonder why TVR keep on painting the caps in yellow.

They are brass caps Thom.

Matt.

Ah...Thanks for the info Matt

And you can TVR logo ones from a TVR dealer...

[Jarrett]

Are you sure that they are brass, cause they look just like the Tuscan ones and they are plastic!

Know this as I am on my second set. Quality is crap and if the brakes get hot they shrink and fall out!

[Big_brother]

After spending some time helping to clean the wheels, they certainly didn't look like brass, unless they've got some plastic coating on them. If they were brass wouldn't they tarnish extremely easily?

Big Brother, nice car! Looks virtually the same as mine! Just get those first 1000 miles out of the way then prepare for the real fun!
Cheers.... Andrew
PS. They're plastic stick ons. I've now got black TVR ones instead. £5 each I think?

Correct. they are plastic. Swapped mine for proper TVR logos..


TMS provided the centre caps and my new 18" ones have the same logo, the Gold ones look shite...

an absolute stunner. we must have had the same idea (or salesman?!). mine's imperial blue with two-tone parchment/blue bison on 18's. v similar.....
