Finally .......after laying down the initial deposit at the motor show I am now about to finalise the spec on my Tamora. As well as having to decide on the colour (about 3 different schemes so far ....depending on the time of day etc) I am not sure about aircon. Have any of you any recommendations one way of the other after driving these for a while ?
On the aircon if the Tamora is similar to other TVR's then the Aircon can range from freezing to pointless, mostly erring towards pointless.
When I looked at buying a Tuscan they said that if I was to have ordered a new one then Air Con is a must for resale reasons. So it may be worth considering for that.

here's my tips:
Buy aircon (I didnt and wish I had).
Buy leather (my Bison is wearing terribly, I'm considering a warranty claim).
Get the glovebox lid in a dark colour (finger-prints galore).
Get the steering wheel and instrument binnacles in a dark colour to prevent dials / windscreen reflections.
If they're offering a more comfortable/adjustable seat option yet, take it.
Finally, get the 18"'s!

lrussell5,
Where is your Bison wearing?
I ask because my drivers seat was positioned hard against the side of the car (there is a small gap on the passenger side between seat and side) and by the first service it had rubbed the 'top' of the bison off (fabric visible) on both the side panel and where the seat made contact. I'm currently waiting for a decision on how best this can be fixed (the seat repositioned I suspect) before the side panel and seat are redone.
Cheers.

yep, same place as you plus.....
Center arm rest
All seat-belt rubbing points
Outer seat edges
Glovebox lid
etc...
basically anything you need to touch regularly!
My main colour is parchment - very light - so it shows wear much more visibly. Could be you're all suffering wear but havent noticed it yet. Look closely guys!
Its 2 months old, only done 1200 miles

they can retro fit aircon, if you are prepared to have your car sent back to the factory for two weeks!
I'm probably going to have to get this done on my Tuscan, in order to be able to keep it (read my previous posts). Will have to arrange an extensive hot test in another Tuscan to see how effective it is.
Dealer said approx £1,600 for the unit and £1,600 labour.
But if it means I can keep a fabulous vehicle, it should be worth it.
PS Congrats on your new acquisition....pictures ???

bad boy,
I ordered close ratio box but there is currently a supply problem so still waiting for it to arrive at my dealer and be fitted.
I also have full leather which while not adding much to resale values ( previous Tivs were also full leather ) stays in excellent condition if you feed it regularily.
Also had rear speakers upgraded - well worth it.
