Has anyone bought a cover yet for their Tamora (water-proof or otherwise) ?

Yep, I’ve got Cover Craft "in Garage cover" to keep our cat off / out of the car. I got it as part of my purchase deal with the TVR Centre so I don't know how much it was. Cover Craft now have a template as the first one they made was for my car so it might be worth speaking to them or John at the TVR Centre. Hope this helps.
Cheers, Nick.

bloody hell Nick, did your dealer make any profit at all on your car?! Car cover, Armourfend, what else? Free sauna with dusky maidens, case of champagne, service the parts manager's wife while they service your car? I think I'll order my next car from your dealer?

Hi Nubbin,
I must admit I was a bit surprised at all the bits they chucked in. I just kept asking for more suff and they just kept saying yes. Maybe it was because I was not trading in as I had already sold my Griff and I think I took a car that a customer had ordered years ago (maybe at the motor show) so they probably had some money to play with. Just to show off ,the complete list of freebies were:
Armourfend kit, Car cover, Extended warranty 3 year in total, Extra set of front mats, Free pick up and collection (100 mile round trip) on all servicing and warranty work, Free installation of my CD Multiply, speakers, amp and head unit, TVR wheel centres to cover the horrid yellow ones and finally a Griff heater knob to cover the plastic intermittent wiper rotating switch. I’m still waiting on my Kick plates but have agreed with them that if the factory does not get them sorted soon that they will buy me a set from Leven and fit them.
I must admit I was quite pleased with all the bits but when you’re spending the best part of £40K on a car you expect a few “freebies”
Cheers,
Nick

You mean you've spent nearly 40K and you've got to clean your own arse? You should get onto your dealer about that!
That's quite an impressive list! Was it your first purchase from the dealer or did you already know them?
Cheers..... Andrew

Oh, I forgot to mention the arse cleaning bit of the agreement. How could I have forgotten that ?
It was my first purchase from that dealer. I think I might just have been in the right place at the right time. The sales guy I dealt with resigned to go to a Euro Box dealer closer to his home about a week after I cut the deal with him. They guy that then picked up my order was a tad surprised at the list of freebies I had negotiated. I presume the first salesman was just feeling charitable as he was leaving and it was not going to eat into his commission !!!!
