TVR TAMORA Rare
As of 2025 Q4, 232 TVR TAMORAs remain registered in the UK — a genuinely rare sight on today's roads. That's down from a peak of 240 in 2014 Q4 — only 97% of the high-water mark, a loss of about 8 cars. Unusually, the numbers are actually rising — up 5 (2.2%) over the past year, as imports and barn-finds rejoin the register faster than cars leave it. Tellingly, 51% are declared SORN — kept off the road in garages and barns rather than driven, the signature of a car being looked after rather than used up. In all, the TVR TAMORA is rarer than 51% of the 2,408 UK car models we track.

About the TAMORA
The TVR Tamora is a 2-seater sports car built from 2002 by British company TVR, filling the gap left by the company's Chimaera and Griffith models. Introduced at the 2000 Birmingham Motor Show, the car is named after Tamora, a character in William Shakespeare's play Titus Andronicus and served as an entry-level model in the TVR range. Peter Wheeler was no longer directly responsible for design and the car was designed by a team led by Damian McTaggart (also responsible for the interior), but Wheeler still had final approval.
