I would take the TSO over the Sagaris. I wish I had the cash to buy the one in the advert frown but house renovations take priority at the moment.

I think this is the only car I would sell the Tamora for scratchchin

It's an extremely good looking car and for my eyes the only good looking Marcos (sorry, that silly arse ruined them along with the flat plank kit car interiors). It is one of the great shames that it wasn't to be. But, as tempting as that car is at £60k it will be a proper ballache to keep it on the road.

A few years ago I was really on the look out for one.... I reckon this is the first I've seen up for sale. I am very surprised it hasnt sold already at that price.

Who's engine does it use? Isn't it some kind of American block?

The back end is so reminiscent of my Triumph GT6 MkIII

It's an LS2 I believe.

I've seen and sat in a couple of those TSOs and they are very tight, I'd suggest that's why they sent Hammond and even he commented on the lack of space. The other thing is some of the styling is a bit too kit car for my liking, with thick pillers etc. Put that next to a Sagaris and even though I'm not a huge Sag fan it would be no contest with the TVR being the winner everytime..

It's one of the LS series anyway, yes.

More than a hint of TVR in the design language, but that's hardly surprising as it was designed by the same chap, as I recall.

I seem to remember EVO criticising the handling as being unresolved and in need of significant further development, and likewise the steering, but predicting it would be fantastic when it was finished. Sadly it never was.

I think the TSO GTC had the better suspension, brake, chassis package.

I love the silhouette of the TSO, but the Sag looks much better from the front.

But as someone said above, god knows where you take one to be fixed.

Damian McTaggart was the designer in question.

The problem is the parts. Only one company has the pattern for them now and they are a small company, so if they go bust...

Just dipper up just so no one else gets it before you. If you know that any of the pistonheads have seen the car at shows etc you can always e-mail to see if they no the previous owner etc or car.

this was my friday the 13th!
Drove my sag up to the 'exhilarate scotland' day out [on open roads] drove a evora ,911,430,r8 and a 400bhp focus. These cars all cost more than a sag[not to sure about the special rs] and although it was a amazing day out and i loved so many diff things about these cars i [IMHO] went home with the best looking and sounding car!!
Get a grip anyone who thinks a sag isint anything but special! fricken drive 1 [if you can] and then comment because there simply awesome!
