Moss Malvern, yesterday in Dargaville. Never heard of them before. Thought it was a TF replica except for the grill.

Are you sure it wasn't my Titanium Grey T350C with Anthracite wheels? I was travelling that way on Saturday to get to my footy game... I thought there was only one Sagaris in NZ in laser blue.

If it was me then this is my first spot ;-)

I could be wrong , back end looked very Sagaris , if it was you - it sounded great , wa around 11.30am . I was at the Caltex station filling up my stbox .
The reason I looked up was I hadn't heard a car like that before .
I know of the Blue Sagaris - the guy is at Ellerslie every year . Cool cars - TVR's overall are !

I think it was me, I'd just been to Occam cafe and was driving up that way before turning right into Bond St.

Kiwi friends of mine who love V8's reckon the speed 6 sounds incredible.
I was at Ellerslie also this year and had the T350C parked next to the blue Sagaris:





Thanks for the spot!

Very nice, I love the shape of the T350C - one of the best looking TVRs ever IMO.

Thanks!

The only pain in the A really was missing out on the 2012 SIV quota as the car arrived in August 2012. Subsequently it was all complied and on the road by the end of January 2013.

(I'm surprised i've not had any other spots since i've been using it as my daily drive every day since Jan around the Mt Eden area)

Just because you said that, I spotted you today! Haha. I saw your car and though, I wonder if this is the TVR in mention after checking this thread yesterday. Came back today to report in to see that it is indeed the case. That is a really nice colour. One of my top favorites.

Haha, that's because I don't have the bottle to hit corners at speed without using brakes what-so-ever like you crazies yet.

Thanks for the spot. See, I knew there were more Pistonheads members in Auckland.

The colour looks great in the NZ sun and the anthracite wheels really give it a stealth look.
