That is definitely the one. Silver FJ05**F pre accident, then Green DKL**8 after repairs.
Was on sale for about 3 years in total. Accident damage pics floating round the internet. Damage all round. Easily distinguishable by its yellow callipers, opened wheel arch louvres, custom bonnet and custom air vents behind the front wheels.
It was spotted about a 6-12 months ago at Calais on a transporter. About the same time photos of a similar car started appearing on social media (C1*OR) but I've since realised this is just a coincidence (and C1*OR is actually a completely different car with a different shade of green).
I've also seen photos of a '3rd' one (L1**YDS) recently and I suspect this to be the Cat D car after it was repatriated (I may be wrong... don't have access to HPI).
I was trying to buy it back in 2011-2012. IIRC, with the exchange rate at the time my offer was circa £30k and it was declined. I recall then seeing the price on the advert increase by circa £1000 every month!

You're right, this car isn't C1*OR, that one is owned by a North East TVRCC member and was the green one in the line up outside the factory on dealer launch day. The only one in Lamborghini Verde green from the factory.philipbrown123 said:
Now for sale at £39989 on autotrader.
As expected no mention of its Cat D History sounds like a great place to buy a car http://www.motor-hub.co.uk/used-cars/tvr-sagaris-4...

The garage has an absolutely shocking reputation. Before going under the name Motorhub, they were called Keighley trade centre. http://www.motor-hub.co.uk/used-cars/tvr-sagaris-4...

Google that and you'll find loads of reviews and warnings.
Shame this car has got in their hands, let's hope someone can get it out and save it!
Those company reviews are laughable. Amazing how some people think it's OK to do business like that.
I looked at a couple of tuscans through dealers that were not specialists, just the sort of dealers that do a bit of anything and obviously stumbled on tuscans in auctions or tradeins. One sounded just like this company! It was in Nottingham so a fair trek for me but I was away overnight with work travelling north so combined this at the end of the day, prebooked an appointment 2 days in advance to see the car.
Got there, noone knew about the appointment, car was right at the back (about 3 cars deep) and they just handed me the keys and said 'have a look round'. I quite like that approach to begin so you can comfortably look about before you decide if you want to see the papers or talk in more detail.
Car looked nice so I asked if we could take it out and was told that it was way too much effort and they can assure me it drives perfectly?! Better still they said if I pag a deposit, I could come back at the weekend (150 mile trip) and they would have the car out! No offers price is fixed.
Long story short, I said I'm not putting a deposit on a TVR I can't take outside to see in the light or drive round the block. So they said don't buy it. So i didn't!
2 weeks later, car was 2k less on website and they didn't even phone to see if I would be interested.
I work in sales, and manage a small team of account managers and if we did business like that we wouldnt have jobs!
Still, back in topic, love the colour of this sag!
