Looks superb, as they all do

How did you get on with the bodywork, that you were having done on your 1,000 service? Did they make a good job

As you said Nigel their paint shop did an excellent job but only for the valet to scratch it when I went to pick it up. So unfortunately the car spent three weeks in the shop. Never mind all seems worth it now I have it back.

One niggle that I have now come accross is that my passenger window is not butting up when closing door all the time. Seems to be inconsistent as to whether the door has been opened in the last half hour or not as to whether it will work.

Car still locks but have to wind window up 1st suppose it will have to be back to the dealer in the next month or so.

And you know what, I for one, am bloody glad you did!

What a stunning piece of automotive sculpture; and what a gorgeous, gorgeous paint job.

May you speed with the power of Thor's mightiest hammer.

Woo!

The two-tone paint fooled me into thinking you took the photo on a sunny day!

Hi Flasher
Colour is Reflex Green.

If you are who I think you are, we have met at Duxford. I was the guy who nearly one the concourse (I think u won it in the end) until the judges found out my car only had 200 miles on the clock!!!

Sorry to hear that your Tam is going back to the dealers, when do you pick up the T350C? will it be in time for the 19th?

Hi Mate! Yeah I had feeling it was you, the concours ringer!! It was a spanking car though mate and it's the only colour I've seen so far that rivals mine for the wow factor!! I'm gutted to see the Tamora go because it's been a fabulous car, however I'm literally sleepless with excitement about the T350 arriving...It won't arrive until mid-march at the earliest so I'm afraid that counts me out of the 19th...

cheers

Mmmm... Prrrretty carrrrr.

Not bad for an Essex Boy!

Be Careful in the snow though, a wall jumped out in front my mate in Colchester yesterday, he stopped but the wall just kept coming...

...apparently

That Almera got what it deserved, but I'd hate to see a Tam' so mod'ed.

Good to hear that there is another Reflex Green Tamora owner out there, great colour isn't it?

Sorry to hear you broke down, I am sure it is only a factory niggle which hopefully your dealer will sort out and get you on the road again.

What interior spec did you go for? Any pics yet?

The bit that broke was the ignition barrel. It locked up in the middle of Bath and I had a nice big orange RAC van to attract attention. Apart from that its all fine a few minor bit of finishing off for Hawthornes to do but I love it.

Interior colour had me stumped for ages but in the end I went for full leather, green and saddle with green carpets. glad to say looks fab. Will post some Pics. soon.

I had a funny knocking sound that appeared to come from the dash. Turns out to be the bonnet corners on ether side. Anyone else had this?

Sid, yes I've had the banging bonnet corners, generally only when cold.
You coming to the 'meet' at The Shuttleworth Collection' on Sunday? See the WHITE TAMORA thread.
Cheers......... Andrew

I may well pop over. I will have to see what the other half has to say on the matter. They often have other plans that just mucking about with cars. I have no idea why.

Yep the bonnet on my Tamora is shaking on the passenger side which is quite annoying

I think I recognise where the photo is taken.

If it is where I think it is, I used to live in the same road up until about 18 months ago.
