RE: TVR Sagaris: PH Carpool
Discussion
A dream car of mine, would have one over loads of other heralded 'exotica'. But therein lies the problem; so too would many others and it pains me to accept that I'll probably never be in a position to afford one as they continue to rise in value.
Wonderful car. Thanks for sharing, enjoy!

If you keep it for another couple of years or so (and something tells me that's probably a conservative estimate) you should be at the front of the queue for the new TVRs. What could be a better development car than a machine that gets used for umpty thousand miles a year?
Superb sir, superb.

Cant an oil thermostat switch/plate be fitted to bypass the cooler when the oil is cold??
Most cars with factory air/oil coolers have a thermostat (all the one's I've seen anyway), or they use a laminar cooler which is plumbed into the coolant system to tie the water temp and oil temp together. It is a bit daft not having one as there's no control whatsoever over the oil temp - the point of having a cooler it so control the oil temp!My M3 evo has a stat, my Renault 5 GT Turbo has a laminar cooler. Maybe TVR couldn't be bothered to fit one

I managed to drive one of these last Month, has to go down as one of the waste cars I have ever driven.
What didn't you like about it then? I appreciate TVR`s are marmite but I loved my old Cerbera and one of the guys that used to service mine said to me he thought the Sagaris was the best of the lot to drive and he never wanted to get out of it. BJG1 said:

The one I drove liked to track the road more then it liked to drive in a straight line, you had to fight the gearbox to get it in any gear, there was so mush heat coming from the engine which come into the cabin, after 5min of driving you wanted to just get out of the thing, the build quality was so bad, it was comical, and was the one thing that actually made me laugh out loud about the car, and after all the stories of these TVR being fast, I didn't think it was that quick at all. I would have a Lotus Exige any day of the week over one of these.

What was wrong with the build quality?And on that day I drove anther 7 super cars, which put this TVR in good perspective?
