'04 S2000 V Vx220 Turbo V Tamora
Was at a loose end last Sat, so decided to book test drives of the above 3.
First up, got the '04 Honda for 3 hours from Brighton Honda, to see if I thought be worth spending probably

I like the exterior and interior changes, but couldn't really notice the supposed extra elbow room.
Nice write up.
You've made me think now. I might have a bash at a cuople of test drives over the summer.

There isn't any extra elbow room. This will account for you not having noticed it.

Daily driver .... TVR ..... 
I know a few people that have bought them ....... spent a fortune maintaining them over a couple of years and then losing a fortune when they come to sell them.
(They used to be *very* popular with IT contractors ~ 5 years ago)

What's it going to cost to get into a Tamora Alex?
Are you talking new?
Are the finance deals any good?
Did it feel 5 secs quicker to 100?
Does AA cover attract a premium for TVRs?

I thought Honda were claiming some slight improvement, just through slightly sculpting the door panels a bit more?
Honda made it sound like they had given more elbow room. Journos happily misread the press releases as Honda intended and reported more elbow room.
In fact only the pocket in the door is bigger - albeit by about 5000%.

I may live to regret buying it as a daily driver, but only one way to find out!
Buying 2nd hand so hopefully avoid the worst of the depreciation, probably about
