Not at all sure about the steering wheel, or the ruddy great screen. Screens like that a great in barges like big BeeEms and Lexii, but plonking them in sports cars to me just shows a loss of focus... TVR have never been about interior toys and equipment, the car's the toy surely.

give you somethink to watch whilst waiting for the low loader though

yunno I nearly made the same joke.... but as I didn't, get out of here before I tan your hide

Steering wheel is too bling IMHO, but then it is just a prototype. Hopefully they will listen to feedback.

Excuse my ignorance but what's the difference between that and the old Sagaris other than the exhausts?

Pretty sure the old Sagaris switched over to rear-exit exhausts midway through production. IIRC something to do with drive-by noise levels?

I think anything to do with resurecting TVR has to be applauded

Do like the Sagaris :lick
(Pity I shall never be able to afford one

[Plotloss]

And what is the projected price of this all new Sagaris?

6 shiny apples and a bushel of cabbages. Times are tough in Russia, right?

depends if they sell it pre or post development tested

From reading piston heads, I guess the only thing reliable about TVR's is the noise it makes....

That would require the electrics to work long enough to actually start the car...

ETA: God I want one. Serious next car option if the price is right and they'll do deals...

Probably best to get a dirt cheap barely used one and pop a yank V8 in there.

Good to see TVR (sort of), back. The interior needs some tweeking, but good to see no airbags!

um, no, not really as sometimes they refuse to make any noise whatsoever

It may just be the angle of the photo, but does any one else think the gear lever and handbrake look far too close to the console?

Gear lever looks to be in gear, so more forward than it will be in centre, i.e. it won't need to go any more forward. The handbrake won't need to move, as they never work anyway

[crossle]

Any sign of the Russian c t?

[BlueEyedBoy]

If it actually works for more that 20,000 miles, and they have sorted out the basic engineering and electrics, this will be a serious consideration for me, especially if it actually makes the quoted bhp.

His English counterpart is present so I would assume so, but probably playing with another of his train sets.

Some things haven't changed then
