Currently owning / had 2 Wedges and a Chimaera any replacement is likely to be a Tamora as I love its styling and I'm not a fan of the Tuscan and it has to have no roof (sorry T350 - it does look fantastic though) However I cannot help but notice that the roads are not exactly awash with Tamoras and they appear to hang around at dealers for a while with prices way below that expected for a 1 or 2 year old car. How do people see the future for this model and its value especially with the T350T around the corner?

Have a look at Nubbin's 'Anyone Selling their Tamora' thread.
I think he implies that good second handers are hard to come by.
There may be new cars sitting around in dealers but that could be because people would rather wait and spec their own cars?
And no, I don't think that the T350T will be in direct competition with the Tamora.

Your reasoning for buying a Tamora coincides almost exactly with the reasoning behind my purchase. I bought secondhand on the basis that someone had taken the initial depreciation hit and hoping that all the niggles would have been sorted out (sadly not quite the case).

Reselling did cross my mind, but more than anything this was the car I wanted so I bought one understanding that it would depreciate, that there aren't that many of them about, and that I would probably only trade it in against another TVR. Personally I don't see that a Targa 350 is any more than a sun-roofed 350. I still can't understand what all the will they, won't they fuss is all about, if you want a roofless TVR with a speed six buy a Tamora, it's more attractive anyway!!

I have a TuscanS now but previously owned a Tamora for nine months, and yes i did take a big hit on reselling in part ex for a new Tuscan. But the only reason i changed was because of the Wife, she preferred the creature comforts of the Tuscan, where the Tamora is a bit more roar.
And i personally think the Tamora is much better than the T350,why buy a TVR with out an open top....thought that was one of the selling points along with the power ?

A v8, yes. I thought that nothing could sound as good, especially my 400se. However the speed six with a sports system sounds pretty good in a different race car way. Anybody willing to predict prices in a years time as the change won't be till after Xmas

1. Less chassis/body flex= better handling
2. Your head doesn't get squashed when you roll it
3. I'm not a hairdresser...


....CALM DOWN! ONLY KIDDING!!
