Congratulations!

No it won't be the only black one - the first one was reported on here a few months ago. I have had the picture as my wallpaper ever since!!!

There was also a black one in the factory at the time of Back Home when we went round the factory - if I remember correctly it was filthy, being covered in dust and had been used by PW and as a press car.....

Black Tamora on top of my Lottery Win Wish List....

...want one with black dials and little black lights that light up black....et cetera!!!!!

I must say a big thank you to Danny & Rob at Kings, Warwick. A good bunch of guys there, who also incedently read here occasionally. By the way do you know of any good sleeping pills? as i don't think i'll be getting enough of it somehow!!!

The only press Tamora I am aware of was the red that is now the yellow one. There is a black Tuscan press car and Peter uses that funny green Cerbie has his personal car, that or the range rover.

Then it was just a symptom of my Alzheimers - seeing so many TVRs in one weekend is not good for me!!!!!

Yes it must have been the Tuscan.

So there are only two black ones (Tamoras).....so far????

Colour coded bits without having to go Nubbin's route, eh? And just look plain in black.

We want the pictures and we want them NOW!!!!

Would be nice to see a pic of it. Dont know if a darker or lighter colour would show off the body the best (black vs silver).

Dunno - AFAIK there is only the one press Tamora, it could have been a dealers demo car...? or if Bedford was after that Autocar test they may have sent a "spare" car whilst they sorted the engine out.

I'll check if you like....?

It may be Ben's but Neil (p.s. Claire is it 1 x "L" in Neil or 2 as in Neill?) was driving it because it needed running in after some "idiot" (no names mentioned but we now know it was Tiffany Dell) "had blown it up on a press day!" Rich...

Neil Anderson.

It could be a pool car actually, I think thats the one they took to the Autocar thingy after the yellow one blew.

I know Peter has a few runabouts one of which is the funny green cerb.

Tell me, Gaffer, what's the mood like at the factory with regard to the Tamora, engine problems etc? E-mail me offline if you prefer not to get your dad into bother.

Remember the Balck Tamora, that i was on about well i picked it up on sunday and took a few pictures. I more than happy with the Tamora, it's the best car i've ever driven. Touch wood i've not had a problem with it than of course the seat belts and roof seals. I've only done around 275 miles, so i'm beng careful what i'm saying!!!
Thanks to Rob or putting the pictures on his site.
