It comes down to buying the car you want on the assumption that you can afford it - anything else will just be a compromise.
If I spent the best part of £50k on a Sag then comparing it to the T350 I would have bought a car that in my opinion was better looking than the T350, handled a bit better than a standard T350, might be a bit quicker in a straight line than a standard T350 and was certainly slightly rarer than the T350. The question though is whether these marginal differences are worth a £20-25k premium. For me the answer is obviously not and I am not a T350 apologist. I wouldn't buy a Sag under any circumstances as I can't get on with the looks and I'm not convinced a Sag is actually a better car than my red rose T350. The previous owner of my car told me a story about how he took it to the Ring with a friend who had Sag and round the corners the Sag was marginally quicker but in a straight line it couldn't keep up with the T350 - both cars were factory standard.

Not quite true though is it ...

You started the comparisons - your comment from earlier:
"so owning a T350 will turn many owners into apologists who try to convince themselves and others that the T350 is 'as good as' a Sagaris. And it isn't"

I'm just not an apologist and neither I suspect are the majority of T350 owners. T350's are great value for what they give you but a Sag costs considerably more yet only give a little extra. As an example rather than a £50k Sag how about a £40k GT-R plus change ?

For me personally, its about the styling.. We can argue the internal set-up being very similar and go around that for a few pages but just put a T350 and Sagaris on display together.

Ask Joe public what they think its better, how much more expensive the Sagaris looks - and you`ll find the premium for a Sagaris is justified - at least from my experience.

Dont tar us all with the same brush, I know of a few owners on here who don't need to justify anything as they paid less than the price of a few T350's that are in the classifieds.

And stop bickering you pair, You both drive TVR's. As for a 40k gtr and change or a sagaris. Your joking right? I'd feel then need to prove I had the fastest car in the world if I had a GTR. In a Sagaris I feel the need to prove nothing. The smiles on people's faces when they see it is enough for me

Waving Willy, RIP

I wasn't bickering - as I said, it was all tongue in cheek and I thought I'd better clarify that in case people thought I was being serious.

The insane ramblings of a Philistine.

I too would like a 4.5litre cerbie

Yes, I consider that one earlier this week when first came up. Only problem is no support network for Marcos now. Only 2 companies in the uk I could find and only one small firm with right to make parts. Expensive if it goes bang, very expensive...
