After unhappy tuscan handling experiences i am thinking about moving to a Tamora. I would be interested to hear experiences from others who have also made the switch. Are you glad that you made the switch? Any regrets ?

T350C would be good but, call me a hairdresser, i like to have the wind in my hair! And i don't like the targa version ....

Cheers in advance
Paul

I test drove a Tuscan several times whilst waiting for my Tamora, and it didn't give me the same insane buzz that the Tamora subsequently did. The handling is fantastic, and it's stupid fast, but in a different way to a Tuscan. It's cornering ability is sublime, and a real hoot. The spring and damper settings must be one step further on from the Tuscan, and give much better control. However, that's only test drives - I don't have day-to-day Tuscan experience.

Edited to say, Go for it! You will NOT be disappointed, and possibly pleasantly surprised.

Do it! I would, just to be a little different.

The Tamora is an underestimated jewel!

£1000 worth of Nitron suspension kit makes such a difference to the Tuscan. My early 2000 car is transformed and just so much more planted on the road. Can't compare to a Tamora as I have never driven one.

Interesting to hear that the Nitron made that much difference to your car.

Where did you get this done? And are there plenty of place to get this done?
TVR dealers or not ?

cheers,
Paul

I wouldn't mind taking a Tamora for a spin just to see how it compared to the Tuscan. I also wouldn't mind taking aTuscan with Nitrons either

I bought the kit direct from Guy at Nitron and fitted it myself. Takes a bit of messing to get the ride heights set but not a big deal. I can't stress enough just how much better it is. Top marks Guy.
