Hi T4ngo - My understanding is that the black car at HHC is not Cat D, it's just a colour change car. I sold it to the careless driver when it looked like this http://www.tvr-mads.co.uk/YJ05AVN.html (and he had come in, wanting to buy a black Saggy). The green interior does perhaps look naff in the photos, but I think actually really really works in the flesh.

I use to own the red glow car http://www.tvr-mads.co.uk/T12SAG.html you mention at Bespoke. (Looking at the price I sold it for, I wish I still did.) And I also owned one of the Fernhurst cars http://www.tvr-mads.co.uk/SP05DDJ.html which was (and I assume still is) lovely.

I suppose I do get bored quickly, which is how I ended up becoming a second hand car dealer.

Well done, you've just further confused the issue. The 3000 mile car is spectra flare grey.

I would like you to correct your last post please.
Done. And I've removed your stray apostrophe.

I'm out.

All Tvr engined cars are special and will be very sought after years from now, especially the Sagaris IMHO

I cannot see Tvr ever selling cars again using their own engine so buy one now and look after it,

Well, done the deal and shaken on it. Left a deposit and ready in a couple of weeks for me. Very happy bounce

Went for the Red Glow one. I'm happy with the deal, and that's all that matters really.

Very happy with Bespoke so far, very much went out of their way, even came in on a Sunday, moved the cars around to get it on a ramp for me at my request.

Ah, so the Sagaris at Bespoke finally sold. Cool!

Just means I won't have a convenient Sag to sit in and look
at measuring for mods :/

I did seriously consider an orange one. But negotiation was not going to be agreed in a million years. Car was great, but sale wasn't going to happen.

First, congrats and welcome back.

With regard Cat D, I started looking at getting a Sag a few weeks ago.
Yes, it was going to be as an investment but it was still going to be driven as I do my Tuscan Convertible which is somewhere around 60k miles now and sat in a German airport car park waiting for me.

I checked out a T350 and that bright green Sag at Target Cars, Belgium. (Cat D)
The T350 was also a cat D (no comment) The Sag looks stunning. I was very surprised that I liked the colour in the flesh but it was amazing. Still not sure about the green interior though.




I'm told the repair was done correctly. They have an independent inspection cert for it.
I have also been told there are possibly one or two things that still needing doing.

Anyway, my plan was to use finance so that some of my monthly expendable gets spent on something interesting rather than just blown smile
Unfortunately no one gives finance on a Cat D.

Just take a personal loan with Sainsbury's for home improvement. And then improve your garage by giving it an awesome centre piece!

Have you seen pics of that car pre accident? I can send them to you tonight when I get back to my computer. I inquired about that car in mid 2012 and almost went to see it. I won't mention how much it was then as you'll very probably cry

This thread discusses the car quite a bit, among many others if you just google 'Target Sagaris'

Oops, yes. Sorry.
I stayed in Belgium overnight before driving on to Eindhoven.
