Oh I like the all btw, but always thought the car that was missing was a convertible sag.

That is a Tamora with a Sagaris Front and rear. Works well as you can't see any of the 'donor car' and looks right because of that imo.

Nope, too many clashes of style

Sharp angular cuts and slots of the Sag (front air intakes, bonnet openings, wing cutouts) vs smooth rounded profiles of the Griff (door edges, mirrors, back end, etc)
They really don't 'bond' for me.

Have to agree, it simply does not flow well from the one style to the other, but at the end of the day if someone wanted such a conversion, the only person that actually needs to like it, is that person.

This!

I have never seen any (majorly) converted TVR command higher prices on the used car market, quite the opposite, in fact.

But, if you plan to keep it and you like what you have done, it doesn't matter one jot.

^^^^ yes

That's what I said in my first post complete clash of styles and I really didn't need a picture to demonstrate just 'how' wrong it looks.... redcard

Both options are just so wrong.
The only way you could make it worse is to graft the front from a Tamora onto the rear of a Tamora........

I've just e-mailed Les Edgar to tell him that he's has got it all wrong with the new TVR and that this is the way forward.........not! Pete
