From a point of view of performance, handling, brakes, what is the best post-1990 TVR? Prefer hardtops to convertibles.

If you exclude the looks, which some consider extrme, it should be the Sagaris on two out of three - the third, performance is the subject of much debate. wink
After the Sagaris, its the Tamora.

Cerbera for practicality, performance, grin factor, beauty. It goes blooming fast, stops faster, handles well - does everything it says on the tin/fibreglass.

Sagaris for really mean aggressive looks though.

for 'performance' and particularly 'handling and brakes' the Sagaris is the one to have.

but the best of them all, taking everything into account, is the Tuscan.

Shame you said you prefer hardtops to convertibles, I mean, what's the point of blasting down a country road on a sunny summer day with a roof.

By the way, I would have said Griff but it's not a hard top. Actually the top is hard, it's only the back bit of it that is soft.

I love it when someone posts a question like this because no one really knows what to say, and furthermore to ask a bunch of people who have already made that choice and drive one of said cars is just inviting the stock answer 'my current TVR is best'

Worse still, is that some people regurgitate stuff they have heard on top gear, because lets face it, even if you do own a TVR, there are very few of us driving gods that can actually take one of these cars to its limit.

So I drive a cerb, and I often hear, 'Great Car, very fast, but can't go round corners'. Strange then on a track it seems to go round the corners mighty well, staying on the tailpipes of evo's and scoobies until the straight opens up at which point they wave you on.

Perhaps the op of this thread should have a trip to Brands Hatch on the 3rd September. Here you'll actually take a look at a vast array of TVRs and watch them all go round a track. You might want to make your own mind about on the basis of which TVR's lap the best rather than just accept the same old stock answers.

I could tell you actual answer but it wouldn't be very TVR partisan.

Griff top for looks sound and little lads turning round going "WOW". Best put together? I reckon the Tamora, that was a f'ing limpet and once wound up went like a dream

Umm! Having recently driven a well sorted Tamora (thanks to coach beer) Sagaris first then closely behind Tamora for me.
