Considering a Sagaris -any info on these cars please?

[JamieG]

Morning all, after 10 years of Porsche ownership, I'm ready to try something a little different and am seriously considering a Sag. I just wondered if anybody has any info on the yellow car at TVR-MADS or the the reflex green car at Automotive Dreams? Grateful for any help/pointers. Thanks in advance. Jamie

YHM, when I was looking you could get a good private one for just under £50,000 but it seems prices are rising and good cars are selling quickly, buying a good one in a good colour from a respected dealer you are looking at over £60,000 now, str8six have just sold one for £64,000 and their cars don't hang around for long, private bargains do come along but you have to be very quick.

The Automotive Dream's car isn't theirs. It's been advertised as a favour on behalf of someone who lives in the same street as their showroom. Because of this the car isn't located in the showroom so don't just show up unannounced to view as it won't be there (like I did!)

Many thanks for the reply - unfortunately I never got the email - would you mind resending?

No, to be honest I wasn't interested in it. I was actually on my way to see another Sagaris and was passing right by them on the M6, so thought it might be useful to pop in and use it as a comparison.

F1 green is a stunning colour on the Sag. I know the owners of 2 of the F1 green cars (wasn't aware there were as many as 4) so wander whos selling up?

I agree looks stunning, £70,000?

Not mine.

I do know of 3 cars in this colour.

2 in the UK is all I know of, including mine. The 3rd one I spotted last year at the Classic Le Mans on foreign plates.

Cant wait to see what the Str8six one goes for......

Chris....even if it goes for top dollar don't sell yours. The LS is calling. you know it makes sense.

TVR Ecosse are advertising a very nice one with a power 4.5 upgrade.

wheels would not be my cup of tea but in regards of the other cars
on sale at the moment seems to be good value with mods to
the engine ecu and diff.

Seems a V8 cosworth makes more sense

If car straight seems a bargain and original wheels won't break the bank.

Thankfully the wife loves the Sag!!!

I plan to get a few hundred miles on her this summer and then off she goes this winter for engine mods. That is the plan.
