Roof in boot location...

[pbrettle]

Anyone,

Heard this the other day and not sure if it is true - When you take the roof off a Tamora and put it in the boot, it splits the boot in half - effectively reducing the boot space to nil.

Cant be quite correct can it?

Would go to nearest TVR dealer but it is peeing with rain and I am a lazy bugger...

Cheers,

Ah thats OK then - I was worried that they had regressed to the good old Griffith days. Ahh, that wonderful dance of "putting the roof in the boot"...

How is the luggage space overall? Have a Chimaera at the moment (lots) and wonder if it is OK - dont need too much... just more than a Boxster...

Shame, still all you need is a toothbrush to get the bugs out of the teeth anyway..

Unfortunately yes - currently in negotiation with the mortgage people and the capital that I can release could well be enough....

But then again - I really should concentrate on just enjoying this one before upgrading! I can see this getting awfully expensive if I am not careful - it did last time!

How can they have 2 for sale, or are they selling up or something?

Casting doubt on TMS now are we? It seems that the Tamora is a pretty big hit and TVR are struggling to keep up with demand (dont they always). Being one of the larger TVR dealers in the country dont you think that it would be good sense to have a couple?

As for making them available for sale - of course they want to sell them. They are demonstrators! They cost money to buy and will want to shift them on as soon as possible - especially if they can command list price at the moment. Give it 6-12 months down the line and they will not get list price (demand slackens and supply picks up) and therefore they have lost money. So in the meantime it makes perfect sense for them to try and sell them at list and not make a loss - and it looks good on their figures for TVR....

Oh, and the comment above for the requirement of number of cars per month is true - a dealer has to purchase a number of cars per month and it makes perfect sense to take Tamoras as they are cheaper, easier to shift and in demand - it would be riskier to take a load of Cerberas as this would take much longer to sell on....

Then again, if you really wanted a Porsche 911 Turbo you can jump the 2 1/2 year queue by spending £100K - £120K from a dealer that has bought one in... There by paying for it....

Have to add that you couldnt do this at a main Porsche dealer (contract prevents them from boosting prices), but from an independant. Has happened a couple of times already and Porsche are desperate to clamp down on it - speculation creates the wrong impression..
