[chris-vod]

my name is chris, this is my first post and was just hoping that you guys might be able to help me:

i really like the 60's tvr 3000m but dont seem to be able to find out about what the differences are between the 3000m and the taimar and other similar models which all seem very similar.

thanks

You called?

Indeed, the S-series was 'better' as it was 10 years or so further on and legislation, such as windscreen swept-area had changed. But it had those nancy wind-up window things and fuel injection so the purists shunned it as not being a real sports car

Taimars are more sought after than Ms simply because they were more practical, but mechanically they are the same beast.

Why are 3000M's less reliable than Taimars?

Not less reliable, just harder to get luggage into.
