Flasher is selling?
Discussion
nothing wrong guys....I'm just considering my options. I can have a company car or take the allowance on offer, but that means getting something I can use every day.....and a Tamora doesn't quite seem a car to commute in....
We now have the wifes Merc SLK too..... I know it's not a TVR but it's a nice motor...
I also want to buy a villa in Cyprus.....thanks for the concern chaps...

Flasher - you'll soon be without at TVR thenwhat's going on thought the Tamora was the biggest grin inducing thing on 4 wheels, (well to come from Blackpool at least !!) the most usable TVR and all that, guess that's not the case huh?.......
I still stand by all of what I said. It is the most usable TVR out there, but I don't think the running costs of 30-35,000 miles a year would do it(or my bank balance) any good, do you? Or are you just plain daft???
It's also part of my finance agreement and insurance that I don't do more than a certain mileage in any calender year and can't use it for business purposes.
So add that to the possible servicing costs of £3,500 a year minimum if I did 30,000 miles then you realise that I just couldn't use for work. I will seriously miss it's performance and fun and whatever I buy it won't have the same effect as the Tamora in any way. But I will have another one , one day....
it's the best built TVR I have owned by a country mile and I'm going to miss it...


Sorry to see you're suspending your club membership, Andy. I must admit, I've been toying with the idea of a holiday home - I fancied a villa on the Algarve - the holiday rental market is year-round, and it's good for families - it is possible to make a reasonable profit, too. But I'm not sure I could take the step of selling the Tamora, especially as it's gone in today for respray, removal of the black bits, and body colour to the rear undertray. (Only £70 for the latter!)
It's not just hankering after a Noble, is it?

Thanks Russ, but I'm looking at a Merc SL, CLK, Boxster S, Audi S4, TT, Jag XK 8 etc, etc.... all cars that will give me performance and possible high mileage...lets face it high mileage TVR's are awkward to sell unless they are bargain prices, and I don't want to wreck my Tamora by thrashing it up and down the motorway all year round...
I love my Tamora (and I still might keep it
) but I don't fancy a huge tax bill for having a company car and am considering my options.... the bonus is that my Tamora is in a superb colour, was well built because it was one of the first dealer demo cars, and it has a full spec with 18" wheels etc. someone will get the benfit, even if I don't anymore....

Flasher don't be a daft prick, I didn't start by insulting you, so why reply with an isult ??
