I've just seen a video of a left hand drive sagaris without a bulge in the roof.
Was it that not all sagaris had this feature or was the left hookers?
Can't work out how to link the vid but here's a pic

Thanks for that, it appears that the majority ..... If not all of the cars without the bulge are LHD.
I'm now going to ask one of my kids how to apply links!

Looking at the pictures of the TVR Blog, you see the blue one with a bulge on the left. This car is a 2006 car (Date of first registration is 01 09 2006), so one of the last. The other car known is the car, the russian boy presented as the MK2. Is the basis of this car one of the last from the stopped production ? Maybe someone knows ?

Another question: On the blue car the 'export marker' is No. Does this mean, the car didn't leave the UK ? Or nobody told the DVLA ?

The car that the Russian presented as teh MKII was indeed one taken from the factory floor and was visible in the picture taken after the Factory closed.

Rumour has it that the "Mk2" car was one that they had taken a customer deposit on, and failed to deliver the car or return the deposit.

It's not a rumour. There were several cars in there that had deposits on them, that particular car was intended for the Belgium dealer iirc. An unfortunate occurrence that happens on a daily basis I'm afraid with companies that go into liquidation owing people items or services that they've paid for. For some reason people seem to think that TVR were unique in this, that is not the case and once a company goes into administration/liquidation no one can be repaid unless everyone is repaid in full and as they went owning something iro £25m that was never going to happen.

Here's the picture I was looking for earlier with MKII car on the left, third one up.
