A few issues with the Sagaris. Lambda sensors, throttle pots and cats all replaced. Mine had only done 5,000 miles when I got it last year so expected a few problems as it started to get used properly. Problems surfaced after a few fast runs up the rest and be thankful hill climb. Don't think she had ever been driven hard before. All work done and running like a dream now. Not sure if I'd do it without a specialist nearby but they are awesome cars. So much fun to drive and so rewarding when done right. They were a steal at £30k and still great value at £70k if you get a good one.
